He was born as little children are And lived as children do, So remember that the Savior Was once a child like you. 
And remember that He lived on earth In the midst of sinful men, And the problems of the present Existed even then.
He was ridiculed and laughed at In the same heartbreaking way That we who fight for justice Are ridiculed today.
He was tempted, He was hungry, He was lonely, He was sad ... There's no sorrowful experience That the Savior has not had.
And in the end he was betrayed And even crucified, For He was truly "One Of Us" He lived on earth and died.
So do not heed the skeptics Who are often heard to say: "What does God up in Heaven Know of things we face today?"
For, our Father up in Heaven Is very much aware Of our failures and shortcomings, And the burdens that we bear.
So whenever you are troubled Put your problems in God's Hand For He has faced all problems And He will understand! - Helen Steiner Rice
