The Faith of a Little Child

I know it’s been a while. Sorry. The past ten days have been very difficult. A week ago, I discovered that my dad has cancer, this on top of my brother dealing with serious health problems too. Work hasn’t been all that pleasant either. All this makes the theologian and philosopher in me go into overdrive!! I have been a Christian since I was sixteen years old. At times, I have been quite sure of what I believed and at other times, I have questioned EVERYTHING!! It is good, at hard times like I’m going through now, that I have a solid faith. That I have gone through those times of questioning and have discovered REAL answers. Answers that I can now DEPEND on!! A LORD Whose Word is not empty, but does what He intended it to do!! A FATHER whose LOVE for me does NOT fail!! All day today, I have been singing a song in my mind. A song written by Donna McLaughlin, but I know it from a tape I used to have of songs sung by B. J. Thomas. This is what the scripture tells us. This is what I believe. Tonight, I am encouraged.

The Faith Of A Little Child

Behold
I give you power
To tread upon serpants and scorpions
And over all the power of the enemy
And nothing shall by any means hurt you
And I will never, never desert you
For lo, I am with you
Forever and ever

And if you say
Unto this mountain
be thou removed
and be cast into the sea
It will obey you
If you have the faith of a mustard seed
You've got all the faith
All the faith you need
Walk along with the king
You can do anything
If you
If you have the faith of a little child

In my name shall demons flee
The deaf will hear and the blind will see
And ye shall speak with tongues of angels
And from your mouth I shall bring prophecy
Ye shall be like a watered tree
The pow'r of of God shall be in your ministry
And I will draw all men to me

And if you say
Unto this mountain
be thou removed
and be cast into the sea
It will obey you
If you have the faith of a mustard seed
You've got all the faith
All the faith you need
Walk along with the king
You can do anything
If you
If you have the faith of a little child

The King of glory reigns on high
In grandeur beyond the sky
And we shall greet him somewhere in eternity
His ways are higher than the eye can see
You know the King died for you and me
Though you may be a pauper or a millionaire
We'll all have an equal share

And if you say
Unto this mountain
Be thou removed
And be cast into the sea
It will obey you
If you have the faith of a mustard seed
You've got all the faith
All the faith you need
Walk along with the king
You can do anything
Move those mountains
With your faith in God
If you have the faith of a little child

He's all you need
If you have the faith
Talking about Jesus
If you have the faith
Reach out to him
If you have the faith of a little child

You can
Move those mountains
With your faith in God
If you have the faith
He's all you need
Just talk to Jesus
You've got to trust your faith in God
You can reach
Reach out to Him
