My little one, I know your world

Has been so sadly shattered

By your dad’s and mom’s divorce,

Your home’s now torn and tattered.

And I know you often cry

As you feel alone and blue,

But my child I’ll always be

Right here to see you through.

I, too, am sad, this breaks my heart,

For this was not my plan.

When I made the family,

Through all it was to stand.

But many turn and walk away

From my protective law,

And though I try to stop them,

They turn and then they fall.

Now all of us are hurting, yes,

Your mom and dad are too,

But what is most important now

Is that you know what’s true.

My little one don’t blame yourself

For you are not the cause

Of this broken family

Or of its marriage flaws.

I put you there, it was my plan,

And no one’s over Me.

I made the world and hung the stars

And chose where you should be.

So you didn’t cause these problems

And you’re not the one to blame.

That’s why you couldn’t fix them,

They were there before you came.

I put you there to learn of love,

Your parents were to model

A shadow of my love for you,

For you they were to coddle.

But things went wrong and they got hurt

And someone walked away

And left you torn and broken

And so insecure today.

Oh, but child I have some news,

Good news to warm your heart;

Of my eternal family

You still can be a part.

I love you child, I’ll care for you,

I want you as my own,

And I will always be here,

Both now and when you’re grown.

So come to me with all your pain,

Just let it all pour out.

I love you so, I bore the cross,

So please child have no doubt.

And I still love your mom and dad

And want to help them too,

But now my child I’m here for you,

So let me help you through.

 Jesus
