They’ve grown up so fast Lord
These children you put in my care
It seems like only yesterday
I was getting gum out of their hair
From a babe to a toddler
To a child going out to play
Now they are adolescents
Each striving to go their own way
No longer are their trucks and dolls
Scattered all across the floor
They are busy with their own lives
Always heading out the door
It’s so hard to let them go Lord
But I know it was meant to be
I’ve taught them of your ways
Now I pray they’ll always turn to thee
Watch over them dear God
On their way to adulthood
Stand beside them on life’s rocky road
As you promised that you would
