Jesus once was a little child,

A little child like me;

   G         G      D        D
He played as little children play
    C        D        G        G
The pleasant games of youth;
       G         G            D       D
But he never got vexed if the game went wrong,
       C       D        G     G
And he always spoke the truth.
C    C     G    G
So, little children,
C       C     D    D
Let's you and I
G   G     C    G
Try to be like him,
G   D    G
Try, try, try.
G   D    G
Try, try, try.
