Mary Fahl - Still My Child LYRICS

He had many a bad habit
He was trying hard to break
And every time he thought it got better
He would make another mistake

Though he knows he's far from perfect
He is really trying to live right
He asked me to ask You, Father
Would You hear his prayer tonight

[chorus 1]
He said to tell Him that I really need Him
And I really wanna change
The next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name
Would you tell Him that I really love Him
And although it's been awhile
And could you ask Him for me, am I still His child

I asked her how she was doing
She said, not so good lately
Then I told her, "Girl you know
You can always count on me"

She said, "These day haven't been so happy
Haven't had much peace of mind
Now I know that I should be praying
But I haven't had much time"

[chorus 2]
So could you tell Him that I really need Him
And I really wanna change
And the next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name
Oh, tell him that I really love him and
I know it's been awhile but
Ask him for me, am I still His child

I know the answer to your question
Yes, the Father still loves you
But sometimes, when you have children
You don't always like what they do
But when you go to your Heavenly Father
Say, "Lord, I love You"
And when you ask Him for forgiveness
This is what He'll say to you

I sent a message in the wind
When the birds sang their song
And when you went to sleep last night
I told the moon, shine all night long
Just want you to talk to me
And I know it's been awhile
And to answer your question
Yes, you are still my child, my child
