I Am Coming For You

I Am Coming For You

In spite of your innocence you were cast aside

Unwanted at birth, the strings of nature untied

I know not why you were born into such stormy weather

But I am coming for you so we will brave it together

God has opened my eyes to my complacency

He has awakened my soul to the depth of your need

Now I cannot ignore the duty instilled in me

I will no longer retreat from my responsibility

You are unwanted no more, I am coming for you

I have heard your cries, I know the love you are due

I will wait no longer to bring you into my fold

I will not rest until you are all mine to hold

Though barriers abound I will hurdle them all

I will not be distracted or barred from the call

I will press on through the toughest attack

I am coming for you and I am not looking back

Doubts have been erased, the costs will be overcome

I will not be discouraged by the ignorance of some

I will put forth the effort no matter what it requires

I would swim across oceans, I would crawl through fires

You will not go hungry, you will not be a slave

You will not be destined for a premature grave

You will not be abandoned, you are one of the few

Who will have a chance, I am coming for you

I have no white horse, I have no armor to wear

If I were a hero I would already be there

But I am simply a father doing all that I can do

To make a difference for one child and that child is you

For you to be my own all would be sacrificed

Because you, too, deserve to know the love of Christ

For I am comforted when The Father says to me too

Despair not, my child, I am coming for you
