You are the child that I love in you I am well pleased
You are the child that I love in you I am well pleased
Nothing high, nothing low could separate you from me
You are the child that I love in you I am well pleased
You’ve got nothing to prove
In you I am well pleased

And when you walk through the dark
I’ll be a light unto your feet
And when you cry in the night
I’ll be the comfort that you seek
Long before you spoke a word
Or your face was ever seen
Your every breath, your every move
Was ever visible, ever visible to me

When you need me I’m already there
I hear your every prayer
And every step you take I take with you
And every move you make I make it to

And when you walk through the dark
I’ll be a light unto your feet
And when you cry in the night
I’ll be the comfort that you seek
Long before you spoke a word
Or your face was ever seen
Your every breath, your every move
Was ever visible, ever visible to me

Behind the Song:
Our Father told His Son: “You are my Son, chosen and marked by my love, delight of my life.” (Mat. 3:17) If you look at the scripture, you’ll see that Jesus hadn’t preached one sermon, called one disciple, healed one sick person or delivered one who was oppressed by the evil one. The Father’s love is based on who you are as a person, not your performance.
