Turned away

How would I feel, if day after day

I offered my son my love...but he just turned away?

Or if my daughter was lost, and I tried showing her the way

and I said "Just follow my voice"...but she just turned away

What if my child's heart was broken, and rotting in decay

and I offered consolation...but my child turned away

What if my son convinced his sister that they didn't have to obey

and together the two of them...both just turned away

Some of my children will listen to me, while others will go astray

but I will never give up on the one's that turn away

I grew up with my Lord, but then I didn't want to stay

and my Father waited patiently...'til I came back his way
