about

This is the only brand new recording on this album, but it is also the oldest song!

This song was originally recorded back in 1995 by Q and released on our "Into His Presence" album in 1997. This is my favorite Q song of all time and I have been singing this song as a solo piece for years to end my concerts. When I was working on "Refuge" I recorded a very simple 4-part arrangement of the song just to test out some of the equipment and recently, as I was going through my vaults, I found the recording.

My original thought was to just put the demo recording on this CD as a bonus track, but after listening to it I decided to record the song over again anew. I'm very pleased with the result!

lyrics

Oh Lord, make me a child
impassioned for your ways
a trust that never strays,
make me a child.
Aglow with your light, a smile to your sight.
Make me a child in your arms.

Oh Lord, make me child
with love in a tender heart.
renew my simple heart,
make me a child.
From morning's light to evening's night,
make me a child in your arms.

Repeat Verse 1
