Mary Jane - Still My Child Lyrics

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
