Have you not been what you should be
as a husband, father or dad?
Have you not been any leader,
failing My God, oh-so-bad?

Have you said you will on one day,
then the next you really won't?
Have you hurt the ones who love you,
hanging with the ones who don't?

Have you pushed away your family
with the hateful words you've said?
Have you spoken words of anger
then run out the door and fled?

Have you seen the hurt you've caused them,
had a son who wished you're there?
Have you once had to console her
when your daughter cried those tears?

Have you held her tight in loving arms
when your wife had one bad day?
Have you crushed her heart again,
cause she knew you wouldn't stay?

Have yo failed your son and daughter
with the sinful life you live?
Have you ever thought about it,
what your wife has had to give?

Have you opened up your eyes now,
put yourself aside and pause?
Have you felt their broken hearts from
all the hurt and pain you caused?

Have you reached the very end now
of the sinful life you trod?
Have you seen your family needs you?
It's not too late, just turn to God!

Have you asked My God forgiveness?
Yes, your broken hearts, He'll ease.
Have you shown them what He's done now,
filled your life with joy and peace?

Have you gotten back your family,
fought so hard for those who care?
Have you prayed to God above you,
for His love with them to share?

Have you called on Him to help you,
your relationship repaired?
Have you now seen it's important
to your family if you're there?
