Jesus Was A Child Like Me

Author: Tena C. Cook; Thomas M. Bowdish Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11983 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: I am so glad that Jesus Lyrics: 1 I am so glad that Jesus Was once a child like me: He came to earth from glory, And died upon the tree; His pardon fully, freely, On me He did bestow, His precious blood on Calv’ry Has paid the debt I owe. 2 I am so glad that Jesus Loves little ones like me: His loving eye is watching O’er me so tenderly; He knows my joy and sorrow, He knows my every care; And when I’m sad and lonely, I’ll go to Him in prayer. 3 I am so glad that Jesus From sin was ever free; His life so pure and holy, Will be a guide to me; I’ll follow where He leadeth, Yes, follow all the way, I know He’ll safely guide me To realms of endless day. 4 I am so glad that Jesus Now lives and reigns on high, And if I love and serve Him, I’ll meet Him by and by; I know that when my trials On earth shall all be o’er, He’ll take me home to glory, To dwell forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: PURDUE
