I came into this world
From somber circumstance
I was a retched soul
Without a fighting chance
But in my Father's eyes
There was beauty in such pain
He said "You've nothing left to lose,
but everything to gain"
As the years drifted by me
I stumbled and I fell
I lost my youth and innocence
I lost my way as well
But in my Father's eyes
I had only just begun
He said "Slow down my child
you must walk before you run"
As I grew to maturity
The chaos was hard to bear
I was plagued by indecision
Still running, but to no where
But in my Father's eyes
He knew my every need
He said "Now take my hand child,
you follow and I'll lead"
I turned my back on faith
I'd lost all sense of hope
My world crumbled around me
Until one day I couldn't cope
But in my Father's eyes
Was a life I couldn't see
He stretched out his loving arms
And he whispered "Come to me"
Yet I felt so unlovable
My life had been so cruel
Had God only created me
To be a pawn or play a fool
But in my Father's eyes
As he reached into my soul
He said "Yes you are broken,
but I will make you whole"
And in my Father's eyes
Was wisdom beyond compare
He knew I'd come to this place
And he'd be waiting there
