During childhood years
Hearing about God
Stories filling ears
Joining with His squad
Years moving along
Learning about God
Life fills with His song
Accepting His rod
Adulthood arrives
Discovering God
His message now thrives
Walking on fresh sod
Maturity comes
Truly knowing God
Steady, beating drum
Crashing sin’s facade
Divine hands rebuild
Spirit calling out
Righteousness refilled
Taking Heaven’s route
