Verse 1
Child of mine, my very flesh and bone
Yesterday I carried you, now you walk alone.
Willfull and wayward, our dreams you've left behind,
Shattered into pieces, too many to find.
How can I believe you'll turn and understand?
Still in my heart, the Spirit demands:
Chorus
Don't give up; don't cast her off.
She is not lost; she has but strayed.
You cannot know God’s endless ways.
For He is mighty to save.
Don’t give up;
She was His before yours,
And He loves her more than you could ever know.
Don’t give up.
Verse 2
Child of mine, my very flesh and bone
Have I failed in teaching you, things you should have known?
Did I neglect, the trust that God has shown?
Have my many weaknesses, magnified your own?
Still, my heart knows your choices are your own
I cannot save you; that was already done.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
The Shepherd will not sleep;
“Til He has found His sheep,
He knows them every one.
And He will bring them home.

I love you more than you can know.
Child of mine.
