Still My Child

He had many of bad habits
 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 trying to live right
 He asked me to ask You Father
 Would You hear his prayer tonight
 He said, "Tell Him that I really need Him
 And I really want to 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
 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 talk to me
 She said, "These days 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"
 So could you tell Him that I really need Him
 I really want to change
 The next time you talk to God
 Would you please mention my name
 Oh tell Him that I really love Him
 I know it's been a while
 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
 So 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 send a message in the wind
 When the bird sang a song
 And when you went to sleep last night
 I told the moon shine all night long
 Just wanted you to talk to Me
 And I know it's been a while
 And to answer your question
 You are still My child, My child"
