Gotta Grow Up

When i was a child i spoke as a child

But i put away childish things

Now i'll never forget and you'll prob'ly suspect

That we are the children of the king (yeah)

Now that i'm a man i do what i can

To find what my father wants for me

I got to be humble and kind as he changes my mind

As we're growing in his family

I can't keep from movin' when i'm seein' his glory

I can't quench this fire that's in my soul

I can't quench this fire that he's put in my soul

Chorus:

You gotta grow up (grow up) get ready (get ready)

Feast upon the things that you know

Just because you're older

Doesn't mean you're growin' colder

Why not be bolder as you're followin' him

You gotta grow up (grow up) be steady (be steady)

Don't be lost or tossed to and fro

And don't you lose that child-like trust in him

When i'm on my own i feel so alone

Cause i'm leavin' him far behind

If i push him away, though he wants me to stay

He will not be forcing me in line (yeah)

But when i understand he has the best plan

And he's got it all planned for me

I will never regret if i only submit

To his providential sovereignty

I can't keep from movin' when i'm seein' his glory

I can't quench this fire...

I can't quench this fire that he's put in my soul

(chorus)

Bridge:

No one can explain the trials and struggles i've been going through

Growing pains and heartaches flood my way

I always fail when i take charge of all the things i'm going through

Instead of hearing what he has to say

(chorus)
