A Father's Embrace

A Father's Embrace
Lillian Ford


I hear your call, I hear your pain
My child, I will always be near to you
Nothing you can do will make Me leave
I listen to your cry; come to Me, my child.

My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

As you cry out to me morning, noon and night,
I will always hear and answer your cry
My heart breaks for you as I hear your pain
My child, you will always be Mine.

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

In every part of your life, I am there
In your joy and in your pain, in your sickness and in your health
Call My name and I will hear
Lift your eyes to heaven and I will be there

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

Do you see the beauty around you?
The mountains and valleys, oceans and plains
All that you see is My love story to you
My love for you is all around and written in the very stars in the sky.

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

The very air you breathe, the very life you have
All that I created, I give to you.
I love you so dearly and will never leave your side
I will always be with you, my child, I feel your pain and feel your joy.
You are my child and I will forever love you with all that I am.

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

Mantle of Authority

I have His mantle over me
I claim it now, I claim it always
His mantle over me gives me the authority
The authority to live, the authority to love
The authority to fight and heal in His name.

His mantle over me, His covering of blood
The power contained, the power revealed.
All in His name, comes the grace of salvation
All in His blood, comes the power of healing.

His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.

All around the world, His mantle of authority
Moves His church in His grace
His healing power of love
Healing His land, healing His people.

Turn my face upon Him, upon His word, upon His grace
Claim the mantle over me
And face the battle again.
Run the race, claim the healing,
In Christ's name, I pray.

His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.

He paid the price, He sacrificed
His life for me, His healing He gave
His revelation spoken unto me
His revelation brings me live, His mantle gives me authority.

He takes my sin, He takes my sickness
He takes my pain and my sorrow.
He gives me love, He gives me grace
He gives me authority and words to speak.

His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
