I haven't actually, been to a church where that song is sung. Becuase I haven't been to an institutional Church since I went to a presbyterian church, and before that being raised on the Catholic church.

The point is that little children cannot have true faith in God or any religious principle, because they have no comprehension, so they must be taught. It is a bit trite when small children are taken up to "bear testimony", but it is by emulation of their parents that they biuld the foundation for their own eventual understanding and a testimony of their own.
