Through the eyes of your dad

Children of mine, I hear your cries in the night
and when you walk in the dark, just know you see by the Light
I've removed your blindness and have given you sight
Now open your eyes and read the words that you write

A shaken faith is what you bring
and in my eyes it's a beautiful thing
How blessed am I, the Sovereign King
to read these songs my children sing

You show confusion, and you show some doubt
and whether you cry, you curse, or you shout
you know to come to the river in the time of drought
for I AM the water you cannot live without

The world puts you in bondage, but I will set you free
The world blinds you with temptation, but I allow you to see
You are exactly where I knew you'd be
and though none are perfect, you are perfect to me

Understand this; I allow things to go bad
to bring back the lost that I once had
but believe me, when you cry, I am just as sad
These are the words of your Father seen through the eyes of your dad
