As Little Children Do

Step into the pure joy, wonder, and intimacy of God’s family with "As Little Children Do", a Scripture-based worship song. Produced through prayer and deeply rooted in Scripture, this uplifting worship song explores the heart of Jesus' teaching that we must receive the Kingdom of God like a little child (Matthew 18:3, Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14–15, and Luke 18:16–17). It's intended to be sung by both children and adults alike, and is not meant to be only for children. Sung by a vibrant children's vocal ensemble (synthetically generated) with warm, acoustic-driven instrumentation, this song takes listeners on a clear biblical and emotional journey: • Childlike Coming to God: Approaching the Lord with humility, dependence, trust, and open hearts. • Receiving the Kingdom: Embracing the central truth of the Gospels—that the Kingdom belongs to such as these. • Belonging to God's Family: Resting in the Father's embrace as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. • Royal Identity: Celebrating the balance of God's majestic reign and His deep personal intimacy as "Abba, Father." • Joyful Worship: Expressing the natural response of children who know they are fully loved, redeemed by the cross, and brought out of darkness into His marvelous light. Musical Style & Instrumentation • Vocals: Joyful, jubilant young voices featuring call-and-response sections, a lead child vocal, and warm echo harmonies. • Instruments: 12-string acoustic guitar fingerpicking, warm grand piano, melodic upright bass, soft ambient synth pads, tambourine, maracas, and light drums. "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." — Mark 10:15

As Little Children Do (lyrics)

[Verse 1 — Children's Ensemble]

Lord, we come just like a little child, Trusting You with hearts so pure and mild. We humbly run into Your loving arms, Receiving all Your grace with open hearts.

[Chorus — Children's Choir with Echo Vocals]

Oh, we give You thanks and joyful praise! You brought us out of darkness into Your kingdom of light! Through the cross of Jesus, by His precious blood, You washed us and filled us with Your wonderful love! We receive Your kingdom as little children do, (As little children do!) With humble hearts we're trusting only You. (Trusting only You!) Your children are singing, "La, la, la," rejoicing in You! (La, la, la, rejoicing in You!) One happy family, forever with You! (Forever with You!)

[Verse 2 — Children's Ensemble]

Lord, You've made Your kingdom our home of love, Held within our Father's arms above. Sisters and brothers, daughters and sons, Living together as Your little ones.

[Chorus — Children's Choir with Echo Vocals]

Oh, we give You thanks and joyful praise! You brought us out of darkness into Your kingdom of light! Through the cross of Jesus, by His precious blood, You washed us and filled us with Your wonderful love! We receive Your kingdom as little children do, (As little children do!) With humble hearts we're trusting only You. (Trusting only You!) Your children are singing, "La, la, la," rejoicing in You! (La, la, la, rejoicing in You!) One happy family, forever with You! (Forever with You!)

[Bridge — Children's Choir Call and Response]

I'm a child of the King, forever loved by You! (Forever loved by You!) I'm part of Your royal family; all Your promises are true! (All Your promises are true!) Our Father reigns forever, high above us all; Yet when Your children call Your name, You always hear our call!

[Outro — Full Children's Ensemble]

We worship You, Papa—our Abba, Father! We love You, Lord and lift Your holy name! Forever we'll adore You and give You all the praise. We're so glad we belong to You! (We belong to You!) Come, all God's children, sing: La, la, la... (La, la, la...)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
