Jesus Was a Child Like Me (Crosby)

Once Je­sus was a child like me

But O

so kind and true;

His ev­er watch­ful eye can see

The ve­ry things I do.

Yes

Je­sus was a child like me

But O

so pure and true;

My bless­èd Sav­ior He will be

If I but love Him

too.

He played up­on the vil­lage street

In such a plea­sant way;

And ran with glad and will­ing feet

His par­ents to ob­ey.

I want to be His lit­tle child

And more like Him to grow;

And ev­er truth­ful

good and mild

Because He loves me so.

And now to Je­sus I will pray

To par­don me from sin;

And if I serve Him ev­ery day

His bless­ing I shall win.
