Father forgive me
My child tell me your needs
Well, you see Lord; I’ve forgotten how to believe
This isn’t like you, you’ve always had faith.
I know Lord but lately that faith’s been misplaced.
Have I not given you all that you need?
Yes Father, yet still I’m consumed by greed.
Lately it seems as though you don’t do enough…
And I’ve felt so alone when my life’s hit a rut.
My child but that simply isn’t true
Each moment of pain I’ve been there for you
I try to reach out, yet you do not take my hand
Instead you withdraw and question my plan.
You asked me for love and I gave you family
You asked for tranquility and I gave faith to believe
I delivered good health upon your request
You asked for a miracle, with two children you are now blessed.
I’ve heard your deepest fears and have tried to lay rest
Even while you disobeyed me and mocked me with jest
I’ve held your hand through each darken trial
Patiently I’ve loved you, even now while you’re in denial.
I’ve sat here and watched this darkness creep into your soul
Though you’ve tried to leave me, I have yet to let go.
I understand your doubts child, know that it is okay.
After all it is my job to herd the lambs that go astray.
Lord how do you do it? How do you love so strong?
How can you still care even after all of my wrongs?
Your patience is unwavering, your faith so true…
Simple, though at times you don’t believe in me, I always believe in you.
