He gave me everything I would ever need to survive
Supplied me with all the nutrients I need to grow
Got every hand on deck just so I would become something
So large a boss, he still spoke daily to me…
That was till I was no more satisfied with my status

Why should he make all the decisions and take all the glory
If I am so good why can’t I decide something?
Why not eat and my eyes be opened
Yes i did eat and my eyes opened to darkness
Little did i know he detests rebellion?

Yet he loved me so much as not to curse me
He looked at the ground and cursed it for my sake
I was sent off and sacked with my salary
Only for him to making reconciliation plans
He is indeed merciful

He tried all he could, until one choice was left; a sacrifice
I never thought he’d pull that one of
But I’m living while his son was dying
Just so I can be adopted and inherit what was never mine
Still I sin and stray from him daily

A stretched out arm, a reconciliation, mercy, a sacrifice, an adoption
What more should i expect?
Yet i blame him for everything and in all
He keeps, protects and picks me from all falls
He’s my loving father
