Father…I remember when
The little girl called out to you
She was sad
Missing her mother
You heard her
And dried her tears
Father…I remember when
The little girl grew to be
A young woman…full of joy
Loving this life, you gave her
Doing life abundantly
Caring for others
Father…I remember when
I was that young woman
You were by my side
And ahead of me
Preparing my way
To trust in you
Father…I remember when
My joy became tears
My peace became fear
But…you were with me
Father…I remember when
You hid us in plain sight
Under the cover of your tent
In our days of trouble
Father…I remember when
You rescued me from the mire
From sure destruction
At the hands of an evil man
Giving me a new song
A song of thanksgiving
Father you placed me in this
Broad, safe place
High upon a rock
And…
I will remember to…
Tell my story
Because you gave me
Grace to stand…to
Flourish in this life
Until you call me home…
