O Father how I love you

You are my dearest friend,

I know that you’ll be with me

right unto the end.

You’re the one who heard my cry

when nobody else did,

You listened to me when I talked

and in you my life is hid.

I saw such love in your eyes

that I’d never seen before,

as you picked up the broken pieces

for you are  the one who restores.

When I went astray

you watched and waited from above,

For me to turn and come back to you

you received me with such love.

As I told you I was so sorry

that I had grieved your heart,

You forgave and cleansed me from my sin

And I know we will never part.

You hold me by my hand

As we walk along,

You feed me daily with your word

that helps me in you to be strong.

I know your grace is sufficient for me

in struggles I have each day,

But your strength is made perfect in weakness

as I read your word and pray.

One day dear heavenly Father

You will call me home,

I will see you in glory and splendour

as I worship at your Throne.
