OK, so this is a song I wrote. It also works as a poem. If it looks strange, that's why! It's called, "In the Arms of My Father". It's obviously written like a praise song from me to God.
O, to be young and free again,
Chasing fireflies on a summer’s night,
Jumping in leaves every fall, then
Dancing in the winter moon’s soft light.
But as I’m getting older,
I find I’m drawing closer to the Father!
Whatever happens to me,
However old I am; it doesn’t matter!
If disappointed I may be,
I run into the arms of my Father!
He’ll never turn me away;
He’ll always love me!
It can be night or day;
He’s always there for me.
He’s always there when I call;
He will be forever be there for me.
He’s always there when I fall,
Pickin’ me up and lovin’ in me!
And as I’m getting older,
I find I’m drawing closer to the Father!
Whatever happens to me,
However old I am; it doesn’t matter!
If disappointed I may be,
I run into the arms of my Father!
He’ll never turn me away;
He’ll always love me!
It can be night or day;
He’s always there for me.
And even when I fail Him,
He’ll cleanse and wash me white as snow!
My sins, He no longer sees them!
How great a love this is, I know!
And as I’m getting older,
I find I’m drawing closer to the Father!
Whatever happens to me,
However old I am; it doesn’t matter!
If disappointed I may be,
I run into the arms of my Father!
He’ll never turn me away;
He’ll always love me!
It can be night or day;
He’s always there for me.
In the arms of my Father!
That's really beautiful, Jaygee! 😀
@ Jaygee: You forgot to mention that I helped you with the music!
@AG: Haha! 😀 Nice job.
What Aygee means is that I made up the tune, but I didn't know what piano notes to play. She can play by ear and I can't, so I made her help me. Actually, when I said the words "Can you help me with a song-", she was very willing.
