When I was a little girl,
I was scared and all alone,
But Jesus came and picked me up,
And gave my heart a home.
He stripped away my bitterness,
And filled my heart with love,
I gained all my strength and peace,
From my father up above.
When my dad abused me,
I would hide within God’s care,
The pain that dad intended to cause,
Couldn't harm me there.
When my mom abandoned me,
I had God's hand to hold,
He promised he would never leave,
Even when I'm old.
I am a young lady now,
My heart is mending still,
From the hurt this world has caused,
But with God's peace my heart with fill.
A new family I have now
One that wipes away my tears
I was adopted unconditionally
For the duration of my years.
He has given me a desire,
To help and serve those in need,
A servant of God I long to be,
He nourished my dream like a seed.
To orphans I long to share
To love, support, and guide
The love God has given me
I choose never to set aside.
We are his children of mercy
Children of hope, truth, and light
Take up your cross and follow him
With God we have strength and might.
Take these words and gain hope,
From our father up above,
He has shown his faithfulness to me,
He has given us his love.
