My Fathers child will always be
Beloved, cherished, desired by Thee
Belong now I know my Father’s love
Adored, Your faithfulness found me
Tossed about, trampled, entangled
Gripped by this world in loveless despair
Became, embraced, thought I belonged only to find
It was never enough, an endless climb
My Father’s child will always be
Steadfast love ignited me, changed
my world that I could see the life planned
for me, sons and daughters our heritage in Thee
O Most High, O Sovereign One who
Loved the world and left not one
Abandoned but became a Father to
all who choose to belong for eternity
