Rich mullins boy like meman 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 

Me they dressed in baby blue 



But 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 



And I really may just grow up and be like You someday"
