Gotta Grow Up
Acappella Lyrics

When I was a child I spoke as a child
When I was young, I spoke with a naïve and immature mindset.

But I put away childish things
However, as I grew older, I left behind those childish and foolish ways.

Now I'll never forget and you'll prob'ly suspect
Even though I have matured, I will never forget that I am a child of God, and you might sense that about me.

That we are the children of the King (yeah)
As believers, we know and acknowledge that we are children of God, the King of all creation.

Now that I'm a man I do what I can
Now that I am mature, I do everything in my power to seek out and follow God's plan for me.

To find what my Father wants for me
I strive to find and fulfill the desires that God has for my life.

I got to be humble and kind as He changes my mind
In the process of my growth and development, I must remain humble and compassionate as God shapes my mindset.

As we're growing in His family
As all of God's children seek to mature, we do so together as one family in Christ.

I can't keep from movin' when I'm seein' His glory
When I witness the glory of God, I cannot contain my joy and desire to move closer to Him.

I can't quench this fire that's in my soul
The passion and excitement that God has sparked in me is unquenchable, and I cannot ignore it.

You gotta grow up (grow up) get ready (get ready)
As believers, we must mature and prepare ourselves for the journey that God has for us.

Feast upon the things that you know
We should continually nourish ourselves with the knowledge and wisdom we have gained in our spiritual growth journey.

Just because you're older
Maturity comes with age, but it does not guarantee that we are growing in our faith.

Doesn't mean you're growin' colder
We must guard against becoming apathetic or stagnant in our faith journey, even as we mature.

Why not be bolder as you're followin' Him
Rather than becoming complacent, we should boldly and confidently follow God's plan for our lives.

Be steady (be steady) Don't be lost or tossed to and fro
As we mature in our faith, we must remain steady and resolute, not easily swayed or distracted by the world around us.

And don't you lose that child-like trust in Him
While we mature and develop our faith, we should never lose the child-like trust and dependence we have in God.

When I'm on my own I feel so alone
When I try to navigate life's challenges and obstacles on my own, I often feel isolated and unsupported.

Cause I'm leavin' Him far behind
This is because I often neglect to invite God into my daily struggles and fail to seek His guidance and wisdom.

If I push Him away, though He wants me to stay
Despite my tendency to distance myself from God, I know that He desires a close relationship with me and would never force me away.

He will not be forcing me in line (yeah)
God gives us the freedom to make our own choices in life, even when we make mistakes or stray from His path.

But when I understand He has the best plan
When I finally realize that God's plan is greater than anything I could come up with on my own, I am able to trust Him more fully.

And He's got it all planned for me
I can rest assured that God has a perfect plan for my life, even if I cannot see all the details yet.

I will never regret if I only submit
By humbly submitting myself to God's will, I know that I will never regret the direction my life takes.

To His providential sovereignty
I acknowledge and trust that God is sovereign and in control of all things in my life.

No one can explain the trials and struggles I've been going through
The difficult trials and challenges I face in life are often impossible to explain or understand.

Growing pains and heartaches flood my way
These experiences are part of the growth process, as I face painful situations and emotions that shape me into a stronger believer.

I always fail when I take charge of all the things I'm going through
These struggles serve as a reminder that I cannot control everything in my life and that I should seek God's guidance and strength instead of relying on myself.

Instead of hearing what He has to say
When I fail to listen to God's wisdom and direction, I often fall into self-reliance and miss out on His best plans for me.

Repeat Chorus

I can't keep from movin' when I'm seein' His glory
Again, when I witness the beauty and majesty of God, I cannot help but move toward Him in worship and adoration.

I can't quench this fire...
The passion and excitement within me is not something that I can suppress or ignore.

Repeat Chorus
