Rich Mullins - Boy Like Me / Man Like You Lyrics
You was a baby like I was once
You was cryin' in the early mornin'
You was born in a stable, Lord
Reid Memorial is where I was born
They wrapped You in swaddling clothes
Well, I was twelve years old
In the meeting house
Listening to the old men pray
And I was tryin' hard to figure out
What it was that they was tryin' to say
There You were in the temple
They said You weren't old enough
To know the things You knew
Well, did You grow up hungry?
Did You grow up fast?
Did the little girls giggle
When You walked past?
Did You wonder what it was
That made them laugh?
And did they tell You stories
'Bout the saints of old?
Stories about their faith?
They say stories like that
Make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make
A man walk straight
And You was a boy like I was once
But was You a boy like me
Well, I grew up around Indiana
You grew up around Galilee
And if I ever really do grow up
Lord, I want to grow up
And be just like You
Well, did You wrestle with a dog
And lick his nose?
Did You play beneath the spray
Of a water hose?
Did You ever make angels
In the winter snow?
And did they tell You stories
'Bout the saints of old?
Stories about their faith?
They say stories like that
Make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make
A man walk straight
Did You ever get scared
Playing hide and seek?
Did You try not to cry
When You scraped Your knee?
Did You ever skip a rock
Across a quiet creek?
And did they tell You stories
'Bout the saints of old?
Stories about their faith?
They say stories like that
Make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make
A man walk straight
I really may just grow up
And be like you someday

Such evocative lyrics, catching little childhood moments we forget to remember---like getting scared playing hide and seek. Rich Mullins' Songs is my favorite Christian album.
A Very Righteous motivator song here people ! ! ! Hallelujah & Amen . :-)
Listen very carefully whats being said here .
This music is timeless. Rich was a quiet genius.
Unlike Donald Trump... a boisterous genius, but very stable.
Rich Mullin was a great christian..
Jesus was a child like us all marvelous isn't it
Yes,he did come as a child,to be the Lamb of God,but he is the I AM for all time,without beginning or end
