So young and unknowing


O be careful little eyes what you see
O be careful little eyes what you see
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little eyes what you see


O be careful little ears what you hear
O be careful little ears what you hear
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little ears what you hear


O be careful little hands what you do
O be careful little hands what you do
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little hands what you do


O be careful little feet where you go
O be careful little feet where you go
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little feet where you go


O be careful little mouth what you say
O be careful little mouth what you say
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little mouth what you say


There is nothing more exciting to me than a person who has discovered and starts to embrace a belief in God.    Their eyes, ears, and hearts are wide open and open to everything and anything that will help them be as close to God as possible. (I remember being in this stage myself and it was so exciting.)  The efforts that come from  a new believer - someone who has been so recently reborn of Christ - are so earnest.  They are willing to do just about anything to get closer and be closer to God.  Ultimately though, too many of them miss the mark with their efforts and they end up sprinting down paths that they feel like they should walk only to be reeled back in by the very thing that inspired them to begin with.  They start seeing God in everything and in turn study the wrong types of doctrines, listen to the wrong sermons, and act and speak in ways that are just plain wrong. But here's the thing: they can't help it.  At least not yet.
