The Message

For the abandoned husband left alone without a wife

To the  refugee with no reason to keep on living life

To the homeless and the heartless all alone

And the slave that is owned by the  things he owns

This is the message that you need to hear

Frail children the Father holds you dear

The happy moral pagan who believes there is no need

To those unsatisfied in their  pride and greed

The barren still waiting with dwindling hope

The rebellious  rogue at the end of her rope

This is the message that you need to hear

Frail children the Father holds you dear.

Bridge

Trade all of your sorrow

Behold what manner of love

Don’t wait for tomorrow

Behold what manner of love

Those drowning  in depression that deepens each day

For the prodigal who's dying in a strange new way

And the infidel floundering  from their futile choice

And the innocent orphan who has no voice

This is the message that you need to hear

Frail children the Father holds you dear.

This is the message that you need to hear

Frail children the Father will draw you near.
