You're My Child

As flowers long for sunshine And as deserts thirst for rain That's how much a Father longs To shield His child from pain That's not how life happens Still I hope that you will see That I am never far away For you're a part of me You're my child You're my child And together we can make a dream Though tomorrow may seem far away You're my child Though at times it seems so hard for you to know Just how far love will go Oh it's strong enough to reach across the years Through the joys, through the tears You're my child With words I've said I love you To express the way I feel But the scars can run so deep That words alone can't heal The joy in our tomorrows Rest in finding Christ today And then our happiness is found Each time we hear Him say You're my child And together we can make a dream Though tomorrow may seem far away You're my child Though at times it seems so hard for you to know Just how far love will go Oh it's strong enough to reach across the years Through the joys, through the tears You're my child And together we can make a dream Though tomorrow may seem far away You're my child Though at times it seems so hard for you to know Just how far love will go Oh it's strong enough to reach across the years Through the joys, through the tears You're my child
