Child of Delight (Lexi’s Song)

Though you were wounded
Left alone and confounded
You have become the light of a world that was not your own
Though you were cast out
Into fear and given over to doubt
You have come to the joy that the Lord has not left you alone

For even in the darkness
Despite in the sin of man
Though evil wanted to possess you
The Good Lord had his plan

Child of the Light
Child of delight
We praise the Lord Jesus
For delivering you to us
To redeem you from the pit of destruction
To rescue you from a hopeless plight
To bring you the hope of salvation
And give you a song in the night

Child without guile
You’ve the heart of a child
But wizened in your soul
By a world that was out of control

For  Jesus intervened
And rescued and redeemed
And gave you a new life
Filled with promise not with strife

Child of the Light
Child of delight
We praise the Lord Jesus
For delivering you to us
