Lost and lonely on the outside looking in
With a heart that longs to be home
Fear and shame surround me in the night
Oh God, come and find me
Show me what a Father's like
Show me what a Father's for
Rich in love kind and gracious God You are
Show me what a Father's like
Show me what a Father's for
Rich in love kind and gracious God You are
I'm invited to sit here at Your table
In a place that feels like home
I am held I am loved in the arms of the family of God
All around me
You show me what a Father's like
You show me what a Father's for
Rich in love kind and gracious God You are
You show me what a Father's like
You show me what a Father's for
Where I belong I am known I am secure
Where I belong I am known I am secure
My Redeemer I am Yours
My Defender strong and sure
My Redeemer I am Yours
My Defender strong and sure
My Redeemer I am Yours
My Defender strong and sure
My Redeemer I am Yours
My Defender strong and sure
You show me what a Father's like
You show me what a Father's for
Rich in love kind and gracious God You are
You show me what a Father's like
You show me what a Father's for
Where I belong I am known I am secure
Where I belong I am known I am secure
Yes I belong I am known I am secure
