Also, the chorus begins "We are but your children" NOT "mature children".
This song is a prayer. From the very first line the writer is asking for love, wisdom, and deliverance. He pleads that "we are but you (ie God's) children" trying to find our way through this life and all the confusion. "Take us forever" is a plea for salvation before "nighttime (I e. Death) sends us on our way"
