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 you tell him i really need him
I really want to change
The next time you talk to god
Would you please mention my name
Tell him i really love him
And although it's been a while
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
Don't have much peace of mind
Now i know i should be praying
But i have had much tell

He said you tell him i really need him
I really want to change
The next time you talk to god
Would you please mention my name
Tell him i really love him
And although 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
Sometimes when you have childern
You don't always like what they do
So when 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 word
When the birds sang their song
And when you went to sleep last night
I told the moon shine all night long
Just wanted you to talked to me
And i know it's been a while
And to answer the question
You are still his child
