Father of the Fatherless

Father of the Fatherless

an intro to this song, which was composed shortly after WOW, when people were sad about leaving the children behind. where i tried to send the email to say hi, but unfortunately, the email couldn't make it, how does one send to a Chinese email address (the draft is still there). but remember this, even as we continue to pray for these children (which i have forgotten, i confess) - that God is with them and watches them.

ok i admit it. this one sounds a little scrappy (: but well that's me...with the new recording editing program thing haha (:

Verse 1:
You loved the little children
You called them one by one
You took them in Your arms
And you sheltered them from harm
You said the little children were welcome to Your place
And you took them in Your loving embrace

Chorus:
You're a Father to the Fatherless
Protector of the weak
Your our light in the darkness
So mighty yet so meek
We know that you will hear
Because you're ever, ever so near

Verse 2:
We loved the little children
As Jesus Christ had done
We took them in our arms
But the farewell had to come
And as the we left the children
The tears began to flow
But we knew Lord
That You'll never let them go!

Verse 3:
And so the little children are safe in Your embrace
You never sleep You watch them
You cover them with grace
And someday we shall meet again
Caught up in the air
And we'll praise Him when we're there!
