Child of Mine

Helen Yousaf led worship last Sunday at Emmanuel Evangelical Church. It was the day before the exam and I thought "lets go to church, get over it and do some last-minute studying". However (as you all know) God has a different agenda from us. I entered the sanctuary and heard this beautiful voice and could immediately sense the presence of God in our midst.

Helen who you say? I know nothing of her before she came to our church. But God really used her in a most powerful way to speak to us and to lead us in a totally different worship. Her husband was one of the instrumentalist on her worship team. And the songs just speak so passionately of God's love. Here is the link to her website.

I have uploaded one of my her songs on this blog. Hope you will be blessed just as I was.

My child be all that I purposed for you to be
My child there’s so much more than you could ever think or see
My child your potential is greater than you know
My child ill take you places you never dreamed you'd go
So don’t lean on your own understanding
And in all things acknowledge me
And as you trust in me with all of your heart
I will make straight your path

CHORUS: Child of mine be mine
Child of mine be mine
I’ve loved you since the beginning of time so child
Be mine, be mine, be mine

My child, you were born for such a time as this
My child there is a reason, a plan for which you exist
My child I knew you before you were conceived
My child if you think I don’t care then you have been deceived
Don’t be dismayed when I discipline you
It’s only what a loving father would do
Now if you ask me I’ll forgive you, every single thing
Just open up your heart (ooh) and ask me to come in.

CHORUS: Child of mine be mine (ooh ooh)
Child of mine be mine (ooh ooh)
I’ve loved you since the beginning of time so child
Be mine, be mine, be mine

BRIDGE: Never meant for you to run, never meant for you hide
Never meant for you to live (ooh)without me in your life
But your choice has to be yours and your mind must be your own
So until you ask me in your heart your heart can’t be my home

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

I know every hair on your precious head
I know everything you’ve done and every word you ever said
I know the number of your days
Your strengths, your weaknesses, your ways
One day you’ll know how much I love you
‘Cause I’ll tell you face to face

CHORUS: Child of mine be mine (ooh)
Child of mine be mine (ooh)
I’ve loved you since the beginning of time so child
Be mine, be mine, be mine
I’ve loved you since the beginning of time
so child, be mine, be mine, be mine
