I remember when
I was just a kid
Didn?t worry bout a thing
The world was simple then

But it?s different now
A lot to figure it out
At some point I?ve gotta
Learn to lay my questions down

Some things don?t make sense
But one things for sure
When I lean on You Lord

Gives me the strength to go on
So I lean on the Lord
So I lean on the Lord

There's a reason that I'm still around

So I will trust in You

Keep me on the straight and narrow
Oh just like You do

Your love
Your truth
Your joy

Your word
Your grace
Your strength
I?m learning how to
