MercyMe's song 'You Are My Child' is a tender lullaby-like piece that speaks God's comforting words to a listener who is hurting or lonely. The lyrics emphasize God's unwavering love, presence, and promise never to leave or forsake. It invites the brokenhearted to come to Jesus for solace and reassurance. The song draws on biblical themes of God as a loving Father who wipes away tears and holds His children close, echoing passages like Isaiah 43:1-2 and Matthew 11:28.

I love you
And I will never leave you
Nor forsake you
And I love you
And i will never leave you
you are my child
you are my child
when you're down
when your heart is broken
when no one seems to care
please know that I love you
cuz you are my child
you are my child
and i want to wrap my arms around you
and i want to wrap my arms around you
and say everything,everything will be alright
you are my child
you are my child
let me wipe those tears from your eyes
let me wipe those tears from your eyes
come to me
come to me
come to Jesus
come to him
come to Jesus
come to him
