Jesus Was a Child Like Me (Cook)

I am so glad that Je­sus

Was once a child like me:

He came to earth from glo­ry

And died up­on the tree;

His par­don ful­ly

free­ly

On me He did be­stow

His pre­cious blood on Cal­v’ry

Has paid the debt I owe.

I am so glad that Je­sus

Loves lit­tle ones like me:

His lov­ing eye is watch­ing

O’er me so ten­der­ly;

He knows my joy and sor­row

He knows my ev­ery care;

And when I’m sad and lone­ly

I’ll go to Him in pray­er.

I am so glad that Je­sus

From sin was ev­er free;

His life so pure and ho­ly

Will be a guide to me;

I’ll fol­low where He lead­eth

Yes

fol­low all the way

I know He’ll safe­ly guide me

To realms of end­less day.

I am so glad that Je­sus

Now lives and reigns on high

And if I love and serve Him

I’ll meet Him by and by;

I know that when my tri­als

On earth shall all be o’er

He’ll take me home to glo­ry

To dwell for­ev­er­more.
