Seeking His Children

By Joseph C. Collins

Where has my friend gone; the friend whose heart was on fire for his Lord. He flees from our sight.
He flees for he has done wrong.

Does he not know of our love for him. Has he not heard of our mercy?
He runs in the darkness, hiding his face, then he falls to the ground and begins to cry.

He calls out My name, not knowing I am already coming to him.
Hang on, my friend, for I will be there.

I will not stop, I will not linger, nor will I falter until you are by my side again.
I am The Lord your God and I will not forsake you.
