My Father

When I was lost in the wilderness, desolate and alone It was his voice that called out to me His hand guides me home In spite of all my wrongdoings He welcomed me with open arms Built his hedge of protection around me He shielded me from harm In the midst of my trials and tribulations It was his love that kept me strong And in his word I found the will, and the strength to carry on When my world was filled with darkness He became my light Opened my eyes to the truth He restored my spiritual sight He has loved me with an everlasting love and prepared a place for me in his heaven above He has given me grace, which is sufficient enough He is the one I put my faith in, my certainty and my trust He graciously created the heavens and the earth And in them he delights He holds ALL POWER in his majesty and might He is Alpha and Omega The beginning and the end He is all I’ve ever needed He’s my Father and my friend Chiquita Chiamaka Baity
