When I Was A Little Boy
When I was a little boy
On my father's knee
I asked him dad, tell me a story
About the God he loves
A tear did form in his eyes right then
And he held me close to him
Son I've been praying for oh so long
Just to hear you ask me this thing
He closed his eyes and began to tremble
And gave me the name of his God
Jesus, Jesus, is the one
That I wish you to know
The story ran in a beautiful song
And tears came into my eyes
When he was finished I bowed down my head
And said Lord you are my God
Now that I am older, with a son of my own
Sitting upon my knee
He looks to me and asks me dad
Tell me of the God you love
A tear did form in my eyes right then
And thought of another time
Joy filled my heart as I saw my dad smile
From heaven's blue ocean above
Joy filled my heart as I saw my dad smile
From heaven's blue ocean above.
written as a song in 1979
