The Father

God, You are my Father, You are my Friend. I know You will be with me until the end. Faithful and True, You are to me, Seeing the very best in me, instead of the horrible person I know I must be. Why You put up with me is beyond my comprehension, Your deep unconditional love for me defies explanation. I am a child of hell and that’s where I belong, But You were very present and I felt Your love so strong. You keep the ‘enemy’ at bay when he desires to come in like a flood; I know that I am covered in Your precious shed blood. Lead me in Your glory; lead me in Your plain path and way, So I can have eternal life and live with You someday. I want to see You and look upon Your face, When life is all over and we’re in that Holy Place. AND ALL Your people shall worship You in sincerity and praise Your Holy Name, Come into my heart and change me, so that I many never be the same. I love You, dear Jesus, and I am sorry for walking away, I need Your guidance to live my life today. You are my Best Friend, True and Divine, I can’t believe that I can call You mine. Forgive me for leaving You; help to never turn away again, Pour out Your mercy and compassion, falling upon me like heavy rain. Never leave me Jesus, See the child inside of me, Make and mold me, Jesus into what You need me to be. Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord, Help me to keep us on one accord. Thank You Lord. Amen.
