When I see the world through a child’s eyes,
I see mountains and bluebirds and bright butterflies;
I feel sand through my toes when at the beach
And the apples on the tree just out of reach.
When I see the world through a child’s eyes,
It’s easy to believe in a Heavenly Father so wise,
That He created this earth and all its beauty untold;
I still hope to see it that way when I’m old.
When I see a family through the eyes of a child,
I see a father who provides and a mother who smiles;
I have brothers and sisters who are kind to me
And we all play together in harmony.
When I see a family through the eyes of a child,
I can believe in Heavenly Parents, loving and mild,
I can view each person as someone of worth
And accept them as God’s family here on the earth.
When I see others through the eyes of a child,
I can learn compassion, to speak without guile;
I can be teachable, forgiving, honest, and true,
When I see the kind things others may do.
It’s easy to believe in a God who is just,
When I learn from others to show mercy and trust.
I can learn patience while waiting a while,
For God’s blessings to come to an obedient child.
(Optional for the Christmas season)
When I see Christmas through a child’s eyes,
I feel laughter and magic and wondrous surprise;
I love lights and music and cookies and songs,
I want to serve others and never do wrong.
It’s easy to believe when Baby Jesus was born
Though ‘twas long ago on that Christmas morn,
That Love had come down to redeem and glorify,
When I see our Savior through a child’s eyes.
