(intro 2x) C#5  C#5  B5

C#5           C#5      B5
When you were a child I loved you
C#5           C#5      B5
When you were a child I called you my son
C#5           C#5            B5                     A5  B5
But the more I called you the further you went from me

C#5         C#5          B5
It was I who taught you, taught you to walk your first steps
C#5         C#5         B5
It was I who taught you holding you by your hand
C#5         C#5         B5                  A5
It was I who healed you, healed all of your bruises, wounds and pain

(chorus)
E5                      C#5
How can I give you up? How can I hand you over?
F#5                        A5                  B5
How can I treat you like, treat you like a sinner?
E5                      C#5
How can I look at you when you turn against me?
   F#5                     C#5                  A5  B5
Compassion is stirring my love overflowing for you
How can I not love you?

(intro)

C#5     C#5     B5
I saw you walking in the desert land
C#5   C#5              B5                      C#5
Got me thinking, got me wondering: Will he be okay?
  C#5             B5            F#5             A5        B5
I cared for you I led you, but you forgot me, you forgot me

(chorus)

C#5         C5
When will you understand?
B5      C#5           F#5                 B5
When will you see that I am waiting right here for you?
       E5
Come back again!
C#5        C5           B5    C#5
When will you see that I am ready to forgive you
       F#5               A5               B5
and to care for you and love you once again?
