He had many of bad habits
He was trying too hard to break
And every time he thought it got better
He would make another mistake
Though he knows he`s far from perfect
He is trying to live right
He asked me to ask You Father
Would You hear his prayer tonight?
He said tell Him that I really need him
And I really want to change
The next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name?
Would you tell Him that I really love Him
And although it`s been a while
Ask Him for me am I still His child
I asked her how she was doing
She said not so good lately
Then I told her girl you know
You can always talk to me
She said these days haven`t been so happy
Haven`t had much peace of mind
Now I know I should be praying
But I haven`t had much time
So could you tell Him that I really need him
I really want to change
The next time you talk to God
Would you please mention my name?
Oh tell Him that I really love Him
I know it`s been a while
Ask Him for me am I still His child
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the answer to your question
Yes the Father still loves you
But sometimes when you have children
You don`t always like what they do
So when you go to your heavenly Father
Say Lord I love You
And when you ask Him for forgiveness
This is what He`ll say to you
I sent a message in the wind
When the birds sang a song
And when you went to sleep last night
I told the moonshine all night long
Just wanted you to talk to me
And I know it`s been a while
And to answer your question
You are still my child
My child
