You are my child
Whatever will come
Will come from me
Wherever you go
You take me too
Whatever good you know
You learned from me
Whatever you do
I enabled you to do
You are my child
Wherever you go
You will always know
Tomorrow is won
By seeking me
You are my child
Whenever you come
You will find me
I am your hope
I am your chance
You are my child
Whatever you are
I made you to be
No matter what you do
No matter how far you go
You are my child
When you seek me
With all your heart
You will find me
I will not hide from you
You are my child
I will bring you back
I will welcome you
I will restore you.
I will love you
You are my child
Author notes
Deut 4
25When the time comes that you have children and grandchildren, put on years, and start taking things for granted, if you then become corrupt and make any carved images, no matter what their form, by doing what is sheer evil in GOD's eyes and provoking his anger-- 26I can tell you right now, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses, that it will be all over for you. You'll be kicked off the land that you're about to cross over the Jordan to possess. Believe me, you'll have a very short stay there. You'll be ruined, completely ruined. 27GOD will scatter you far and wide; a few of you will survive here and there in the nations where GOD will drive you. 28There you can worship your homemade gods to your hearts' content, your wonderful gods of wood and stone that can't see or hear or eat or smell.
29But even there, if you seek GOD, your God, you'll be able to find him if you're serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul. 30When troubles come and all these awful things happen to you, in future days you will come back to GOD, your God, and listen obediently to what he says. 31GOD, your God, is above all a compassionate God. In the end he will not abandon you, he won't bring you to ruin, he won't forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them.
Poem is loosely based on "I Am Your Child" by Barry Manilow.

This was an absolutely beautiful poem for a child, to teach the child about love and the love of Jesus in particular. I do love the words "I have called you by name, you are mine" ... the are nine of the most powerful words ever written or spoken. A delightful read.
