Lyrics
As a child, mama told me all about You
And all the things You do
I wondered all these years how you've kept goin'
And had the strength to carry on
She said You'd always be beside me
To help me up if I should fall
If I get lost, You'll always find me
And all I had to do is call
When Moses cried for help to free his people
You opened up the mighty sea
And when David said, "He sure looks big, Lord!", You said
"Here's a stone, and you've got me!"
And when Daniel said, "The lions are gonna get me, Lord!" You said
"Get down, (get down) get down on your knees."
And in six short days You made the world we live in
And still You find the time for me
You stayed up forty days and forty nights
Makin' all that rain
And they see us messin' up the world we love so much
That's gotta bring pain
If I was big enough (big enough)
And strong enough (strong enough) to help you, Lord, I would
But I can't
You gotta be tired, Lord
You gotta be tired
You gotta be tired
