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
