I played in the hills with Jesus when he was just a lad 
We ran and played and talked about his Dad 

He would look at the birds, the stars, and fish 
And shout with glee
Look at what Dad has made for me

We would grow tired and thirsty and go to the well 
 He would say Drink of this water to quench your thirst 
Look at what Dad has made for me

I did not understand but he was so kind and loving. He touched my heart
 I never forgot what he would say
Look at what Dad has made for me

As time passed on and we grew older and further apart
He always remained in my heart

Then one day the news came the Romans had Crucified him
For what reason I could not imagine 
He was such a kind and gentle lad

My heart was broken. I cried and cried all-day
Then I heard a gentle  voice say. 
Do not be sorrowful for he will be with you today 

What this means I did not know
I only remembered the boy I loved so

I went to the well to quench my thirst
There was an unfamiliar soul
I was afraid at first

Then he said. 
Don’t you remember me 
Look at what my Dad has made for me

I cried dear Jesus I love you so

We walked and talked
Then he had to go
                                                             
Now I am happy and have Peace within
Because I know my Dear Jesus lives again
