Pride of a Father
October 22, 2021
Hey y’all!
I heard the song “Pride of a Father” by Hillsong Young & Free for the first time back in August, and it hit me like a 2x4. I encourage you to listen to it. I’ll post the lyrics below too:
Verse 1:
I could run a thousand miles to win the race of life But what's the value without You? I could write a thousand psalms to captivate Your heart But more than offerings Lord, You seek the depths of me
Chorus:
When You see me, You see my heart Through the eyes of Your mercy In the light of Your Son You love me with open arms And the pride of a Father
Verse 2:
I was once a prodigal, burdened by my shame Till You came running to remind me Your love is unconditional And in Your eyes I'm worthy of forgiveness What was lost is now redeemed
Chorus:
When You see me, You see my heart Through the eyes of Your mercy In the light of Your Son You love me with open arms And the pride of a Father
Bridge:
Who am I that You love me? Who am I that You saved my soul? Who am I without You, Lord? Who am I to be worthy? Who am I that You're mindful of me? Who am I that You called me yours?
Chorus:
When You see me, You see my heart Through the eyes of Your mercy In the light of Your Son You love me with open arms And the pride of a Father
I don’t really know how I can follow that, so I’m not going to try. This week, I want you to reflect on these lyrics. Know that God, your Father, your Abba, delights in you. No matter what you’ve done, He loves you. Live in that love.
That’s all for now. Know of my prayers for you and your families, and please keep me and this ministry in your prayers.
Peace of Christ,
Miss Jessica
