Looking back over my life
I can see a trail of Papas faithfulness to me
I have gone through different seasons
Different times of crying and laughter
Of mourning and dancing
Of stagnating and growing
Of hate and of love
Papa has been my Faithful through it all
I have come to love Him
more than life
In the dark times
He was my Light
In the trying times
He was my Anchor
The times I wanted to give up
He would not let go of my hand
He lifted me higher
When my vision was blurred
Restoring my hope
when I was at my lowest
Through the wilderness He guided me
Away from all eyes
I discovered His immense love for me
A love that would hunt me down
Look for me in the darkest places
Even if I would try to hide
His love would find a way
to be with me
He loved me through my mistakes
my sin and my bad choices
His kindness towards me
Inspires me to live a life
that is pleasing to Him
He set me free from my fears and my pain
The reflection of my future in His loving eyes
Invited me to go deeper with Him
Past the person I once was
To the person He knew I could be
Washed and redeemed by His precious blood
Once a sinner, but now accepted
through grace
A daughter deeply loved by her Messiah
He showed me the true meaning of love
A love never based on my accomplishments
A love never based on my perfection
and hard work
My identity deeply embedded
in Him alone
Only when I had a revelation
of Papas love
My life could really begin
I can love without fear
I can trust without boundaries
I can do the impossible
With Him next to me
In our deepest weaknesses
and painful times
In our low self esteem and guilt ridden times
In our downtrodden and betrayal times
His love flows like billows into our lives
Healing our wounds and scars
Till we get a glimpse
of who He says we are
Oh how Papa loves us!
The King of the universe
Knows each of His daughters by name
There is a place in His heart
reserved for each one of us
His love completes us
His love defines us
We were the reason
He hung on a cross
The void in our hearts
is reserved for Papa alone
We are perfected daily
When we explore His love
We are precious and irreplaceable
We are one of a kind
His darling daughters
Called for such a time as this
To live His dreams for us.
