We crawl before we soar, we fly

We crawl in our faith
taking baby steps only,
one step before another;
We learn to walk in time;
We grow our mustard seed.
 
We crawl before we walk
one step at a time, cautious;
We hope to go like the patriarchs,
immediately, at the calling of God;
We dream of running someday.
 
We crawl but we move forward
leaning on the faith within us
one step before another;
We walk further, we run;
We grow our mustard seed.
 
We crawl before we soar
flying up to the heavens;
We step out in our faith;
We believe like the elders,
We share our mustard seeds.
