Based on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18, this song is a prayer of surrender, admitting that the only way to truly enter the Kingdom is to turn and trust the Father with the simplicity of a child.

🎧 Tender. Intimate. Humility. Trust.

Perfect for child dedications, family services, or moments of personal surrender.

📖 Scripture Inspiration:

Matthew 18:3-4 (ESV) "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

🎶 Lyrics:

[Verse 1] (Close-miked piano, soft strings) I’ve been climbing ladders that go nowhere Fighting for a seat in the highest chair Trying to prove that I deserve the crown Afraid that if I stop, I’ll tumble down But You interrupt my ambitious pace With the innocence upon a child's face

[Chorus] (Music swells gently with warmth) 🎶 Unless I turn and become like a child I will never know the love that is wild I lay down my titles, I lay down my pride I have nothing to prove and nothing to hide I’m small in Your presence, I’m weak in Your hand And this is the place where I finally stand Like a child 🎶

[Verse 2] It’s a U-turn on the road of success Trading the striving for a holy rest To trust You for the bread that I need today To believe that You are listening when I pray The greatest in the Kingdom is the one who is low This is the secret that the humble know

[Chorus] (Fuller sound, warm and enveloping) 🎶 Unless I turn and become like a child I will never know the love that is wild I lay down my titles, I lay down my pride I have nothing to prove and nothing to hide I’m small in Your presence, I’m weak in Your hand And this is the place where I finally stand Like a child 🎶

[Bridge] (Music becomes hushed and holy) Father, I trust You Father, I need You Father, I love You Like a child

[Outro] (Soft and fading) The greatest is the least... The servant of all... Like a child.
