I Can't Wait

I love the Sara Groves song that is first up on my new mixed tape on the sidebar. Go make it play while you read this post. There are a bunch of other songs there that I just love - some because they remind me of my children, some remind me of my dad, some just carry me through different times. I love music and how it can move, stir and inspire.

This song is called I Can't Wait and it speaks such truth about what we may find essential to teach our little ones, but how we are actually students of their huge faith, simple trust, and (usually) easy-to-come-by joy. I have learned so much about faith through Elijah's heart. No doubts, a few worries, fear that can be chased away with a prayer. There's a reason we are urged to "become like little children." Matthew 18:3

When you reach the proper age
I will teach you to read and you can turn the pages
How to dress and tie your shoes
Your one plus ones, and your two times two's
And you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that i have lost along the way
And I can't wait

As you grow, I'll show you things
How to ride your bike and kick your legs out on the swings
To fold your hands and bow your head
How to say your prayers before you go to bed
And you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that I have lost along the way
And I can't wait

How do you sleep so peacefully?
How do you trust unflinchingly?
How do you love so faithfully?
How do you dance so joyfully?
Oh you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important [essential] things
And all that i have lost along the way
And I can't
No I can't
Come teach me
Of love and dreams
And all the most essential things
And all that I have lost along the way
Cause I can't wait
