Father I kneel here in prayer
Pain deep in my heart
I have never felt such intense pain before
The cause of the pain I know
Deep in my heart and soul
Steps taken down once more
The wrong path I stand
Can I turn around
The narrow path I do not see
Take the pain I pray of Thee
Where is the path I should walk
Teach me truth, teach me freedom
For I am bound, unable to move
Your light is there, I know this
But my eyes behold it not
I open my scriptures
The words just a blur
I know I should read
But my heart is hardened
Slowly my eyes read the words
My mind and heart not talking it in
As the words flow on
I slowly start to take it in
Words melting my heart
Tears burning my face
As the words flow in
Answers to my prayers
Sitting there in front of me
Always there, never noticed
My Father in Heaven loves me
He knows who I am
The desire of His heart
For me, to live with Him
My heart filled with joy and love
I am a child of God!
