I Praise You, Father, Lord of My Life.   I Praise You.doc

By Sharon Rutherford             11-20-1992  

1. Darkness was born 
in the heart of a child,  
So young, trust had died,  
As the child cried  
Darkness laughed - 
as innocence died.    

3. Slowly the child reached out,  
With a heart so full of doubt.  
What would be the cost  
To save that which was lost?  
“It’s done, It’s done-  
I gave My only Son.”    

But always inside,  
There was a hope that cried:  
“Won’t someone turn on the light?  
It’s dark, I’m so scared of the night!”    
As the child grew, there were times she knew,  
The darkness fought the Light –  
Oh, who would win the fight?  
Hope was in the One who had promised: ”It is done.”  
2. As the years went by,  
Darkness grew, 
hope died.  
The child’s heart grew hard-  
As the chains were locked,  
The doors were closed and barred.    
4. As the years went by,  
Hope grew, the darkness died. 
For all He had said was true.  
“I never will leave you. 
I’ll be a Father to you.  
I’ll give you life anew!  
But Someone watched above,  
With a heart so full of love.  
He waited so patiently,  
For the child to turn and see-  
“It’s Me- I’m the Light,  
Take My hand, hold it tight…  
Together we’ll make it right.”  
Hold tight, hold tight. We’re going thru.”
I praise You, Father, I praise You, Father  
Praise You, Lord of my life,  
Praise You. Lord of my life.
