When I was just a little child, I first became aware,
How Jesus loves all His children and keeps them in His care.
And I remember home so well where it was often said,
We kindly thank You, Father for our food and daily bread.
You've been a role model and a teacher
And a reminder of the positive difference anyone else has made
To me and almost everyone
'Cause I envision your lifestyle whole, well and free
With each thought of you and each prayer for you.

Chorus:
Everytime I remember Your name,
It gives me abundant joy
Because into the life of me
You've shine the light of love
Everytime I remember Your name
It brings me sweet memories,
A golden smile to my angel face
And a greater appreciation for You.

There was a book with pages worn, that sat on a table near,
Beside a warm and cozy fire, there was a faded chair.
As I recall my childhood days, it seems that I can see,
A picture clear within my heart with warmest memories.
You've been a role model and a teacher
And a reminder of the positive difference anyone else has made
To me and almost everyone
'Cause I envision your lifestyle whole, well and free
With each thought of you and each prayer for you.

Repeat Chorus
