Where does it all begin
The moment when we understand salvation
Where do we get the idea
Of who He is and who we are

And when do we first see Him
As more than mystery or imagination
When do we see that He knows us
By our first name He shows us

It begins in the heart of a mother
Praying over her children each night
And it begins with the love of a father
Who shows us what the Father is like

For God's children are never too little
To know Him as Savior and Friend
You and I are given the greatest gift in heaven
A chance to lead these little ones to Him
For this is where it all begins

When does it fall in place
The words we learn by memory each Sunday
When does His Word start to spring up
In the children that we bring up

It begins when we live by His grace
In the day in and day out of every Monday
One day when we least expect it
They surprise us and reflect it

It begins in the heart of a mother
Praying over her children each night
And it begins with the love of a father
Who shows us what the Father is like

For God's children are never too big or too little
To know Him as Savior and Friend
You and I are given the greatest gift in heaven
A chance to lead these little ones to Him
For this is where it all begins
