There comes a time
|
When a man has to answer
|
For the things that he's done
|
No one to, no one can answer to
|
No one but the Man up above
|
|
See I have to live my life
|
But when it's all said and done
|
No matter what no one says
|
|
I'm still my Father's child
|
Oh yes, I am
|
And I know He'll take good care me
|
|
I'm still my Father's child
|
Oh yes, I am
|
I know, I know that He will
|
Take good care of me
|
|
When I'm alone
|
And I need someone that I can talk to
|
I hold, I hold out my hand
|
And I know I can say
|
I can say anything that's on my mind
|
Oh yes, I can, alright
|
|
See when things are going wrong
|
And there's trouble in my life
|
See I call out His name 'cause I know
|
|
I'm still my Father's child
|
Oh yes, I am, alright
|
And I know He'll take good care me
|
|
See, I'm still my Father's child
|
Oh yes, I am
|
I just wanna testify
|
He will, He will
|
Take good care of me, oh yeah
|
|
Anything I can ever need, that He's there
|
My Father, my Father
|
He carries me on His shoulder
|
And when I'm weak
|
He lifts me up, lifts me up
|
|
'Cause I'm still my Father's child, oh yeah
|
And I know that He's a part of me
|
No matter what I do, no matter what I say
|
I know, I know that He will
|
Take good care of me
|
|
I'm my Father's child, oh yeah
|
I'm still my Father's child
|
Even when I'm up and even when I'm down
|
I?m still my Father's child, oh yeah
|
All I have to do is say
|
Father, Father
|
|
Father's child, Father, Father
|
Father's child, Father's child
|
Father's child
|
