Redeeming Love

I have journeyed through life's rough terrains
I know what it is like to be in pains
From life's sour fruit I ate
While wondering what was my journey's fate

I saw him, he saw me
We both knew what was supposed to be
Sadly understanding was what we lacked
In my mind every pain caused was marked

I was so angry, where was he?
Was this how much he demanded for a fee?
If he didn't listen
Then my heart would harden

Why the pain, anger and tears?
Didn't he care about my fears
For every moment I spent lonely 
I felt quite silly

Then came redeeming love
For the far-off, forsaken and gentle as a dove
To fix what was broken
To help the downtrodden

Now I see his face
But I still don't see my place
Doesn't mean I can forget
The shadows over me like a silhouette

All promises he made
To help now seem to fade
Dear father up high
Won't you help your little child?
