Peter Pan faith
Sometime wish I could have a Peter Pan faith
‘Let the little one come into me’
It was so much simpler then,
Easier to understand and believe!
Sometimes I struggle with
‘Growing in the faith’
When they try and explain,
Theology, propitiation of sin
When I’m still clinging on to
Jesus loves me, this I know ,
for the bible tells me so!
Can’t I just live in my Peter Pan faith
Do I have to grow up?
Learn chunks of the bible
Be able to quote
chapter and verse
I want to stay in that first excitement when as a young Christian
it was all new to me,
Does it need to get more complicated than
‘Little ones to Him belong,’
They are weak so
go learn chunks of theology
Now my tantrum is nearly finish
I’ll take another look at my bible notes
Re-read the bible verse
And try to fathom it out
Maybe I’ll let those little butterflies
Flutter around my brain
TIL they land on something
I understand?
