“ LISTEN TO ME CHILDREN ”
Words and Music by Keith McGavern

I don’t want to live a fancy free life anymore
I just want to live a life resting in the Lord
I don’t want to be the one who knows it all
I just want to be the one who’s ready for the call.

Listen to me children, hear my words, I am coming to you
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am speaking to you
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am on the way
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am your brighter day

I don’t want to walk alone in this world anymore
I just want to walk side by side with the Lord
I don’t want to love my ego, that’s not me
I just want to love my neighbor, don’t you see.

Listen to me children, hear my words, I am coming to you
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am speaking to you
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am on the way
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am your brighter day

I don’t want to sing just to myself anymore
I just want to sing this song that praises the Lord
I don’t want to tell you stories that aren’t true
I just want to tell you that God loves you.

Listen to me children, hear my words, I am coming to you
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am speaking to you
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am on the way
Listen to me children, hear my words, I am your brighter day
