My Song for You, Dear Child

Oh, sweet dear child I long for you
To Know God as your own
Inviting Him into your heart
Let Him there take His throne
To walk beside you every day
And guide each step you take
To never ever lose your way
And even if at times you stray
He will not ever leave your side
For in His love, you can abide

Dear Child

My Song for You, Dear Child

by Effie Darlene Barba

Oh, sweet dear child I weep for you

Surrounded by such lies

And at a time, your tender heart

So full of questioning sighs

Their blinding you with all their words

That you might never know

That only God can make you wise

And give you joy so you might rise

Above the storms this life does bring

Wrapped in His love, your heart can sing

Oh, how I wish that you did know

He made you as you are

No need for change to shine so bright

Just like the brightest morning star


All those desires and hopes and dreams

Seem jumbled in your mind

It is a time that all must pass

As part of humankind


A change from helpless little babe

Whose love comes out of need

Into someone who loves a friend

Bound by thoughts agreed


Oh, sweet dear child I pray for you

That God will take your hand

That He will help you see His heart

And help you understand

He is the way, the truth, the life

Your heart does so desire

That only He can calm the strife

And give to you, abundant life

Rivers of joy to overflow

The Holy Spirits inner glow


One day, my child God just may bring

Someone who then will be

A special love, to be your own

For all eternity


But until then, my dear, sweet child

Let patience be your guide

While trusting in the love of God

In Him you can abide


His plan for you, is always best

For you He bled and died

Then rose again, so you might

Live forever near His Side


Oh, sweet dear child I long for you

To Know God as your own

Inviting Him into your heart

Let Him there take His throne

To walk beside you every day

And guide each step you take

To never ever lose your way

And even if at times you stray

He will not ever leave your side

For in His love, you can abide

Concluding thoughts

How difficult the years of youth were and are for so many. I remember feeling so alone, not quite knowing how to fit in. Always feeling as though I just wasn’t good enough. Something deep within me drove me and perhaps still does; but, it is that internal knowledge that I am not all that I was made to be. Had it not been for God’s grace showing me that He was the answer to all my dilemmas. When a child has barely begun the process of distinguishing their place in this world; how dare we add such pressure on them as our society does today. At a time when they are learning to separate from that parental, need based love into the many aspects of love such as friendships and even special loves. With so much pressure some, in the name of equity, push these children into boxes that smother them, forcing depression, sorrow and even suicide. Instead, let us lovingly teach them of the true source of hope and love.

DO YOU KNOW CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD? He is our only Hope in Life and Death! Our Joy is found in Him.

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord: I urge you to go to my page titled How to Be Saved by clicking on this link. There is nothing more important than this; because He is the way, the truth and the life. Therefore, I urge you to seek Him today.
