Rob Frazier - Train Up a Child lyrics
[Rob Frazier - Train Up a Child lyrics]
Sometimes it's hard to remember
When your youthful passions ran free and wild
Though now to God it's easier to surrender
You recall your struggles as a child
Oh, now you're a father or a mother
Holdin' on to your kids, afraid to let go
But give them the freedom to discover
How to follow Jesus on their own
Train up a child
In the way that he should live
And give him the tools that he needs to grow
Though the world may often entice him
And try to snatch his soul
If you do your job
He'll remember when he's grown
Children are not our possessions
They arе loaned to us just for a while
And if you see them stray
In thе wrong direction
You got to pray that the
Right way they will find whoa-whoa
Train up a child
In the way that he should live
And give him the tools that he needs to grow
Though the world may often entice him
(The world may entice him)
And try to snatch his soul
(Try to snatch his soul) if you do your job
He'll remember when he's grown
And as he looks back through the years
Will he reflect upon the days
When your strong love and sincerity
Were the finest gifts you gave
What a sweet thing
Just to hear, to hear your baby say
I will train up my child
In the way that he should live
And give him the tools that he needs to grow
Though the world may often entice him
(The world may entice him)
And try to snatch his soul
(Try to snatch his soul) i'm gonna do my job
So he'll remember when he's old
Though the world may often entice him
(The world may entice him)
And try to snatch his soul
(Try to snatch his soul) if you do your job
He'll remember when he's grown
Oh, train up a child
That he might not refuse Him
And train up a child
That he might learn to choose Him
Train up a child
So he'll come to Jesus in the end
Train in a child that he might choose
To save your righteous friend
Train up a child, ooh train up a child
Teach him to love the Lord
Teach him to love His Word
Oh, train up a child
When your youthful passions ran free and wild
Though now to God it's easier to surrender
You recall your struggles as a child
Oh, now you're a father or a mother
Holdin' on to your kids, afraid to let go
But give them the freedom to discover
How to follow Jesus on their own
Train up a child
In the way that he should live
And give him the tools that he needs to grow
Though the world may often entice him
And try to snatch his soul
If you do your job
He'll remember when he's grown
Children are not our possessions
They arе loaned to us just for a while
And if you see them stray
In thе wrong direction
You got to pray that the
Right way they will find whoa-whoa
Train up a child
In the way that he should live
And give him the tools that he needs to grow
Though the world may often entice him
(The world may entice him)
And try to snatch his soul
(Try to snatch his soul) if you do your job
He'll remember when he's grown
And as he looks back through the years
Will he reflect upon the days
When your strong love and sincerity
Were the finest gifts you gave
What a sweet thing
Just to hear, to hear your baby say
I will train up my child
In the way that he should live
And give him the tools that he needs to grow
Though the world may often entice him
(The world may entice him)
And try to snatch his soul
(Try to snatch his soul) i'm gonna do my job
So he'll remember when he's old
Though the world may often entice him
(The world may entice him)
And try to snatch his soul
(Try to snatch his soul) if you do your job
He'll remember when he's grown
Oh, train up a child
That he might not refuse Him
And train up a child
That he might learn to choose Him
Train up a child
So he'll come to Jesus in the end
Train in a child that he might choose
To save your righteous friend
Train up a child, ooh train up a child
Teach him to love the Lord
Teach him to love His Word
Oh, train up a child
