My Child

 Father you are good.

Father you are kind.

You take care of me even when I don't deserve it.

I fail... 

I fall...

I discard you like an old shoe.

I call you at my convenience.

Father you hear me.

Father you see me.

When I know I ought to sow.

When I know I ought to go.

When all I see is faithless me.

You look down from heaven and smile to the angels.

And you tell them.. " That's my child".

My child! 

When I fail to notice you in the crowd.

And my jaw drop when I hear you say bow.

You tell the angels... "That's my child"

My child!

When I listen to many voices.

And I ignore the sound of yours.

When I follow the wrong crowd.

And I end up shouting too loud.

When I sing along to a merry song.

And I don't think that I do anything wrong.

You say to the angels.. "That's my child"

My child! 

When my name is Saul.

And in the desert you call.

I fall to my knees.

In reverence without keys.

To ask who are you.

For to know is my due.

"I am Jesus Of Nazareth.

And I forever will let.

Your name to be Paul.

To my will I do call.

Now rise and be strong.

For I knew all along.

You would spread forth my name.

To the end for your gain".

And you say to the angels... "That's my child"

My child!
