I never once suspected that you could do all you did
until I knew you at your knee
and knew I was your kid.
I always hoped you loved me
as my heart longed to be loved
and it wasn’t ‘til I heard you that I knew
that you were love.
In every place
I needed and longed to hear you say
you told me that you loved me in every single way.
You gifted me with healing and headed me toward love.
You gave me heart’s desires and favored me above.
You always searched me out.
You never let me be.
And this I say
with thankful heart,
Praise God that you love me!
Thank you, Lord!
