Is this any good? In my Father’s arms I was lifted high Close to His heart I could touch the sky For dad was like God and could silence waves roar And tame all my fears on ocean’s shore For nothing could touch me or cause me harm As a child I was safe in my Father’s arms. From my Father’s arms the years brought a day When far from His heart I wandered away Dad was not God but just the old man I mocked at his wisdom and questioned his plan A proud adolescent with a mind of his own My Father’s arms I’d completely outgrown. To my Father’s arms born-again I returned Back to His heart from the wilderness learned That pier’s weathered crosses were moments He bore My sea-tossed rebellion when He loved me more For now I’m a father, he’s not God or old man In my Father’s arms He became my best friend.
