Story Behind the Song
This song deals with stolen innocence, and about how Jesus Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice, in order that we might find in Him the purity and innocence that we could never find again in ourselves.
Lyrics
Little girl, great big world
Bright Eyes, wide open
Innocent and free, young and naive
Then just as in Eden
the Serpent deceived Eve
Innocence stolen, replaced by pain
and knowledge of good and evil
understanding beyond your years
Though the little girl is lost to you,
take my hand and we'll make it through
Don't you know that I so love you?
You know I walked that road, too.
Perfect innocence nailed to a tree;
in Me reclaim lost purity
Light still shines bright in your eyes
Though strained by the tears you cry
I know what you're facing:
the pain, the blame, the guilt, the shame.
I walked that road 2,000 years ago;
If you would only give them all to Me
you'll see, in Me, I've made you whiter than snow
Your demons defeated on the Cross that day
Call on my Name, I will carry them away
Don't you know that I so love you?
You know I walked that road, too.
Perfect innocence nailed to a tree;
in Me reclaim lost purity
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
He will receive his blessing from the Lord
And vindication from God his Savior.
Though the little girl is lost to you,
take my hand and we'll make it through
Don't you know that I so love you?
You know I walked that road, too.
Perfect innocence nailed to a tree;
in Me reclaim lost purity
Don't you know that I so love you?
You know I walked that road, too.
Perfect innocence nailed to a tree;
in Me reclaim lost purity
