Redeeming Love

I have journeyed through life's rough terrains I know what it is like to be in pains From life's sour fruit I ate While wondering what was my journey's fate I saw him, he saw me We both knew what was supposed to be Sadly understanding was what we lacked In my mind every pain caused was marked I was so angry, where was he? Was this how much he demanded for a fee? If he didn't listen Then my heart would harden Why the pain, anger and tears? Didn't he care about my fears For every moment I spent lonely I felt quite silly Then came redeeming love For the far-off, forsaken and gentle as a dove To fix what was broken To help the downtrodden Now I see his face But I still don't see my place Doesn't mean I can forget The shadows over me like a silhouette All promises he made To help now seem to fade Dear father up high Won't you help your little child?
