Child Of Mine

 

Hands that reach, and a heart that will care,
Child of Mine, I am glad you are there,
With willing hands, and a heart that will hear,
Your love for others, draws Me near.

 

A heart that will listen, a mind that will heed,
A willingness to answer a need,
A love for Me that shines out, so bright,
Child of Mine, you bear forth My light.

 

With a smile that cheers, and shows out love,
You show to others, your Lord above,
You open yourself as a book to be read,
You take not the thanks, but give Me them instead.

 

Child of Mine, you have blessed My heart,
In My scheme of things, you have played your part,
Yet it’s not just in doing that I’m pleased with you,
I see to your heart, and I know it is true.

 

Child of Mine, you have made Me glad,
You have brought a smile to the face of your Dad,
You have caused the angels with Me to rejoice,
And they gladly listen for the sound of your voice.

 

So sing your praise, take time to pray,
Continue to live for Me, day by day,
And I will inhale the perfume of your prayer;
I will come and abide, and indwell you there.

 

Child of Mine, take time to be free,
Be still in My presence, sojourn with Me,
Enjoy this life that in Me you live,
Soak in My love, which I joy to give.

 

Remember I love you, far more than you know,
Be ever alert, to the ways it I show,
And know from the start, till the end of time,
You always have been, and will be, Child of Mine.
