I was a baby in the word
The things I read the things I heard
All brought you closer to my heart
I finally have a brand new start
Not everything I understand
I need your help, please take my hand
Show me the things I need to know
To help me learn, to help me grow
And when I stumble and if I fall
I'll cry to you, please hear my call
And when confusion turns me around
I know you'll never let me down
I hunger for the truth you hold
The mysteries that you unfold
You died for me, I live for you
Lead me, guide me, my whole life through
This poem won first place for the
