I used to speak like a child
I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child
I voided those things that were of a little child
I’ve put an end to childish things
and have put them aside
and I made plans like a child and reasoned like a child
and when I have become a man argued like a child
as a babe I was reasoning
as a babe I was speaking
as a babe I was thinking
as children do
but, when I became a man
but now that I have become a man
but when I became a man
but when I became an adult,
but when I grew up
but when I was made a man
but when we grew up
just so
my childish speech and feeling and thought have no further
significance for me
my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child now I am a man
now that I am a man
now that I am an adult
now that I am become a man
now that I have become a man
reason like a child
since I became a man
the thoughts of a child
think like a child
thought like a child
we quit our childish ways
we thought and reasoned
when I became a man
when I became an adult
when I grew up
when I was a babe
when I was a child
when I was a little child
when I was an infant at my mother’s breast
when we were children
