God, in his mercy,
his faithfulness to his promise
waiting for us to change
to return from our rebellion
Faithful to his people
even when we deny him
claim our independence
as if we do not need him for life
Our happiness, fulfillment,
our hope in him alone
he is our faithful father
ever calling us to come home.
