When we see a precious child
Turn to walk a worthless road,
It's so hard to watch their steps
And see them waste the "seeds" we sowed.
And yet if we have raised them right,
We have promise they will turn,
Give up all their foolish ways,
Come back to us and truth discern.
How grieved our God in Heav'n must be
When our children go astray
And do not choose to honor Him
But follow their own selfish way.
As parents we must trust and pray
That God will save them from their errors.
He will hear our heartfelt cries
And bring them back because He cares.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6 KJV
