Peeling away the Layers – v2

Becoming like children
peeling away the layers;
Our experiences clouding
our vision of God

The lies of the world
layer upon layer;
Keeping us from truth
the simplicity of God

Love alone,
this is the message;
All of the teachings
boiling down to this

The guile of those older
older than young children;
Trying to read more
into everything

God calling to us
come to me as a child;
Simple and humble,
sit at my feet

The lesson of the greatest
in God’s heavenly kingdom
stripping away all pretense;
Coming to him humbly
as a young child
