Chorus:
Father I thank you for your goodness.
You show yourself to children.
And in my life I see you leading me
Into my childhood once again.
1 Under the shadow of your guiding hand
... And I am young again.
2 I feel the waters of your life in me;
... And I am born again.
3 Beside your waters I am growing still!
... And I am strong again.
