Child of my heart I don't see today,

Still in my thoughts and for you I do pray...

The strength of the Lord and will to stand firm,

No wavering, wandering about any turn.

Shine like the Son,

Reflect His reflection.

Showing God's love,

In every direction.

Care for the hurting,

Reach for the lost.

Share the Good News,

Whatever the cost.

Grow roots that are deep,

Praise God whenever you can...

Being one of His sheep,

Following faithfully as you withstand;

The darts of the enemy,

The taunts of the foe,

The craftiness to sway.

Wear God's armor and grow!

Child of my heart I don't see today,

Still in my thoughts and for you I do pray...

The strength of the Lord and will to stand firm,

No wavering, wandering about any turn.
