God's Hand

There's a little child inside me

That needs a lot of love

Mostly, I wait my turn

It's not often my turn comes

Proud and brave and free

Hair blown by the wind

I've never hurt a soul and

With my heart I always give

And I want you to love me

The way that I love you

Because I can clearly see

The little child in you.

Honest and sensitive

Generous and kind

You've been hurt a lot and

You try your best to hide

But I can see that part of you

So clearly and defined and

I can see your pain and

I want you to understand mine

See, I've been hurt a lot too

But I've left the past behind

Because I've learned all I can

From it this time

And what I've learned is that

The child deep inside

Wants us to love

Never asking why

You know that God is love

And that God loves you

Always ready to forgive

No matter what you do

So, be gentle to yourself

Love your little child too

Then one day you'll understand

What I see in you
