[Verse 1]
When I was young I was wide eyed and unafraid
Small world, such big faith
I knew that You could do anything
When I was young
Before the tears came down
Before the pain brought doubt
Just knowing You was enough for me

[Pre-Chorus]
It was simple, it was honest
Help me remember
What I've forgotten

[Chorus]
I want to run to You
Like a child to his father
When it all was new
And my heart was full of wonder
Give me a child-like faith
A joy that takes me back to my first love
Just like when I was young

[Verse 2]
When I was young
I believed that you were always there
And you heard every single prayer
There was more trust and less worry
[Chorus]
I want to run to You
Like a child to his father
When it all was new
And my heart was full of wonder
Give me a child-like faith
A joy that takes me back to my first love
Just like when I was young

[Bridge]
Years go by so fast
But You never change
Your love still brings me back

[Chorus]
I want to run to You
I want to run to You
Like a child to his father
When it all was new
And my heart was full of wonder
Give me a child-like faith
A joy that takes me back to my first love
Just like when I was young
When I was young
