You knew me when I was in my mothers womb
You cared for me and protected me through my childhood
I rebelled against you as a young adult
You still protected me
You sent me messages that I ignored
You tried to help me find my way
I didn't always listen
You still stood by me for you knew me you knew I would stray
But still knew me
Knew I would find my way
Knew I would come back to you
You knew
But you knew I needed to find my own way
Now in your name I pray
In your light I will stay
My eyes are open today
In my mothers womb you knew me
For you are my father you created me
Even when I tried to ignore you i still did your bidding
Even when I ran I did your work
When I doubted you
I still did not denounce you
You saved my life countless times
You saved my children from being harmed
During my rebellion
I fed the hungry
Clothed the needy
Hydrated the thirsty
Took care of the sick
Defended the weak
Turned the other cheek
Took in the homeless
Acted selfless
You never left me I was still who you created me to be
In your name I will continue to do your work
You are my father
I love my father
In your name I pray amen
