Sons will know that they are loved by fathers
Who will know that they are sons
Of the Father who released his Son from heaven
And fathers will teach their sons to be men,
To be loved and to love Jehovah
The God of our redemption
The hope of our salvation
Sometimes, I wonder if I came to you for bread,
Would you give me stones?
If I asked you for your presence, would you leave me
Alone to wonder if your goodness was real
Or if it’s just a silly notion
Meant to numb me from what I really feel
But you came before me
Everything that was meant to be
Was imagined by you, made through you
So what I think I want for you to do
Is to take my fractured present
And infect it with your future
Fish or serpent, bread or stones?
Can you be my goodness, you alone?
If I choose to bring myself to you,
Will you take hold me and bring me through?
My circumstance has preached the lie
That I’m not worth your kindness, worth your time
But Father come,
Hear our cries,
Raise our hopeless souls from death to life.
