Wonder and Awe

Six years old in my bunk bed
Green t-shirt, wooden sword in hand
I jumped off screaming, "Peter Pan"
Hit the ground so hard, to my surprise
Was my technique not exactly right?
So I climbed back up and tried it all again

Sure, it may sound foolish now, but I promise you
I knew deep down if I believed, I could do anything
I'm not sure when it was
My childlike faith grew up

Take me back
To eyes open wide
To that kid who once believed
He was always made to fly
I want to be amazed
I want to drink it all in
I want to see my grownup faith
Feel like a child again

With wonder and awe (Oh)
With wonder and awe (Oh)

Imagination running wild
Coloring outside the lines
Listening to my heart and not my head (Oh)
And looking up and looking out
Naming stars and losing count
Oh, I pray I'm always blown away

That God knows who I am

Take me back
To eyes open wide
To that kid who once believed
He was always made to fly
I want to be amazed
I want to drink it all in
I want to see my grownup faith
Feel like a child again

With wonder and awe (Oh)
With wonder and awe (Oh)

When you see what it means to be free and remember your life
You will find what it's like to be speechless every single time
But the older I get, the harder it is to comprehend such love
So I'll run to Jesus like a champ

Take me back
To eyes open wide
To that kid who once believed
That he was made to fly
I want to be amazed (Be amazed)
I want to drink it all in (Drink it all in)
I want to see my grownup faith
Feel like a child again

With wonder and awe (Oh)
With wonder and awe (Oh)
With wonder and awe (Oh)
With wonder and awe (Oh)

With wonder and awe
