The Father's Song

THE FATHER'S SONG

Every morning you wake up with a question on your face

What is life? What is there to live for?

The emptiness is eating you from within

Who am I? What is there for me?

And the world is spinning, confusing you

But here I am calling you to me

Sleep tight my child and surrender

Close your eyes, embrace my peace

Sleep tight my child and surrender

In my arms you shall find your peace

You were known by me and loved before your birth

In my thoughts you live and clothed with much worth

You are mine to keep and love forever more

The day flies past you and you ask if you ever lived

Is there love? Are there real friends?

It's pulling you apart and tearing you within

I hear your heart calling out to me

For the world is spinning, confusing you

So here I am calling you to me

You searched and scoured the world but never found that peace

The peace you can't find in yourself

The peace you can only find in me

I composed this song in one of my saddest days. There are times when the paralyzing sadness and confusion are so strong you feel helpless against life. Yet, I remembered that these are the very times that we are asked to surrender everything and allow our Heavenly Father to take care of us. When one has no more strength to carry on, God is always there to become that Strength.
