Even in My Youth

Erin O'Donnell


I still can see her folded hands 
And a prayer book worn to shreds 
I still can feel her bony touch 
And a goodnight kiss for bed 
This woman's faith, such a part of me 
I draw on it still now 

CHORUS: 
And even in my youth 
You were chasing me 
Whispering in the dark and 
Running through my dreams 
Each day I've lived You were calling me 
But maybe in my youth I heard You best 

I still can see a little girl 
Playing in her room alone 
I still can feel her aching heart 
And a wishing to be known 
All those days have brought me here 
I wear them like a badge 

CHORUS 

We can't undo the days of youth 
They speak on through our years 
Jesus said we must believe 
Like the little ones to see 
We were little once 
We were little once 
We were little once 
We were little once 

CHORUS
