'Back When We Were Young' by Will Brown: Rediscover Childlike Faith


Will Brown's 'Back When We Were Young' encourages us to embrace a child-like faith whenever we face one of life's storms. Will wrote this song when he felt vulnerable and was suffering. It's a story many of us can relate to: the challenge of growing up, the grief of losing a loved one, and the struggle to stay strong in our faith during difficult times. 

Will Brown - Back When We Were YoungThis song is an open and sincere prayer. It's not a plea for answers, but a heartfelt prayer to trust with a childlike faith, that is innocent and pure. It's a reminder that even when the pressures of life begin to wear us down, we can return to the simple faith and trust of a child. 'Give me faith like a child, innocent and sweet, You don't want half my heart or anything between… I give it all…,' Will sings, inviting us to let go of our worries and half-heartedness and surrender to God in unconditional faith. 

The song 'Back When We Were Young' helps us to regain a sense of divine child-like purity and strength as we face challenges. Will Brown encourages us to let go of our 'ifs,' 'buts,' and 'why's' and simply embrace the fact that God loves and accepts each of us just the way we are. 

Take a minute to listen to 'Back When We Were Young.' Allow the message to touch your heart. We pray that the song may lead you to the grace of God with a child-like faith and unconditional trust.
