Dear Father in Heaven

February 12, 2018

Father, can you hear me?

My heart in pain outcrying,

I need redemption, I beg you, please,

To calm my fear of dying.

Father, I apologize;

I lay my burdens down.

For all the sin and all the lies,

I’m sorry, I cry out.

Father, for your grace, I thank you;

I’ve flourished like a flower.

This deed you’ve done has made me new;

This is my finest hour.

Father, I am scared of change,

My life, I want to give.

But won’t the world now think me strange,

If for your will I live?

Father, I will trust you

My fears, you will relieve

And through and through, you always knew

What purpose I’ll receive.

And Father, I will praise you;

Your love is greater still!

My pain has ceased, I now have peace

And strength to do your will.
