Born into God's earth
Inspired by truth and love, who's name is Jesus
Dear child, you are created by God and his
great love You are an individual: Breathed
into life from heaven above Teach well, The
lessons you hold dear Lead not in doubt,
Judge not in fear Pray for hope through
life's greatest trials For truth can guide
you unto the furthest miles And falter not
in your faith, For you've a family who
loves you Never wanting to leave your side
Never wanting to begrudge you But if they
don't understand And don't approve of your
ways Reconciliation will come between you
In unexpected ways There'll be times of
struggle and times of light You can find
truth by reading and learning what's right
You'll find the cycle of life, with no
starting or ending And the rays of God's
love, which are never bending So get peace
and get love Where you thought it couldn't
be And live in God's heaven--for eternity
