Fading memories ignored

I crawl across the forest floor

Pool reflects an orphan child

Dirty, lost, alone and wild

Fatherless and nameless still

Fallen heart and broken, will

there ever be a place where I belong



I cower ‘neath the monster trees

And try to stand on tired feet

But gravity knocks me to the ground

Where I give up, and tears roll down

I claw the dust and beg the end

Curse the day that I began

to hope there'd be a place where I belong



I hear a sound I recognize

You lift my chin and seek my eyes

Song of love You sing to me

I ache to sing it back to Thee

“Father Love prepares a place

Brother Jesus leads the way

Follow to the place where you belong!”



How did I miss this wondrous song?

The forest sang it all along

“River rinses all your shame

Father offers you His name

Father Love prepares a home

Brother Jesus leads you on

Follow to the place where you belong!”



“Father Love prepares a place

Brother Jesus leads the way

Follow to the place where you belong

Follow to the place where you belong!”
