A song about rejection and family division, and a prayer from Malachi 4:6 'he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.'
Story behind the song
A division between my mother and I drove me to write this song.
Lyrics
You say it's too painful to know me anymore
somehow it's easier to close this door
It can't shut out the hurt from long ago
only God can make you whole
There's no words I can say to convince
but that won't change what the truth is
I will love you all my days
only God can show the way
chorus:
Turn the hearts of the fathers to their children
and the hearts of the children to their fathers
Turn the hearts of the mothers to their children
and the hearts of the children to their mothers
Though a prodigal or a faithful son
forgiveness pours down from above
to all who ask the Father of love
only He can heal the wrong
(chorus)
Our broken hearts we lay at your feet
Pick up the pieces Prince of Peace
melt away the heart of stone
only you can lead us home
