Prayer

Dad, can anyone share this title?
Dad, could I ever have another?
Dad, giver of life
Dad, I am because you are
Dad, you’re the best

Adopt the lost and forgotten
give me brothers and sisters,
a family to love you too

Let my heart beat to the rhythm of yours
let my soul desire be hidden in you
find in me what is found in you
leave behind your footprints…
so i can walk in them

Feed us by your grace
lead us in your strength
lift us in your love
nourish us with your words

We leave our ways
we forget the wounds of old
take us into your house
renew our hearts

Guard these paths of danger,
steer us from these snares
loose our chains and free our wings
cut the ropes and open our eyes.
