Still My Child

He had many of bad habits
He was trying hard to break
And every time he thought it got better
He would make another mistakeThough he knows he's far from perfect
He is trying to live right
He asked me to ask You Father
Would You hear his prayer tonightHe said, "Tell Him that I really need Him
And I really want to change
The next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name
Would you tell Him that I really love Him
And although it's been awhile
Ask Him for me am I still His child"I asked her how she was doing
She said, "Not so good lately"
Then I told her girl you know
You can always talk to meShe said, "These days haven't been so happy
Haven't had much peace of mind
Now I know that I should be praying
But I haven't had much time"So could you tell Him that I really need Him
I really want to change
The next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name
Oh tell Him that I really love Him
I know it's been a while
Ask Him for me am I still His childI know the answer to your question
Yes the Father still loves you
But sometimes when you have children
You don't always like what they doSo when you go to your Heavenly Father
Say Lord I love You
And when you ask Him for forgiveness
This is what He'll say to you"I send a message in the wind
When the bird sang a song
And when you went to sleep last night
I told the moon shine all night long
Just wanted you to talk to Me
And I know it's been a while
And to answer your question
You are still My child, My child"
