This song is about a prodical child.. who had made a choice to live without putting God first. AND God is speaking to his child longing for the child to come back to the father..
contemporary christian songwriter, worship songs and music.
Hi everyone, I've been singing for a while now. Never thought about writing or singing in public until I began searching God's Word. First I'm a child of God saved by Grace and am one of the worship leaders at a Great church in Yorkton called The Yorkton Dream Centre.
I write about life experiences and sometimes trials that I go through or just what's on my heart. Some songs are very personal.
Many Blessings to everyone, Hope you enjoy them. Not professional just me and my guitar mostly.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song because it reminded me of what we can go through as christians.. God is always reminding us of all that he has freely given and it seems we still tend to wander or stray even for a short time. But through his unfailing love He is always there watching and still all loving..
On a personal note, God gave me this song before I even knew this scripture even existed. Then the next day after the song was completed, I was watching a program on Grace, and the preacher was speaking on this scripture, which then verified my song, God is so wondrous- He never seizes to amaze me!
Lyrics
Righteous
Denie don't you know, how I have missed you
Denie don't you know, how much I care
Thought of all the trials that you have been through
But you know my child, I'm always there
I know you've heard about my suffering
I paid I all the cost is none
Do you know how I have waited for your love,
I can be your best friend
Chorus
You are righteous in my sight
Your are righteous, you are
Through the Blood of Jesus Christ
You are righteous, righteous
In my sight
Verse 2
The years have come and gone while you were searchin
Thorns and thistles make through painful toils
I watched you site alone and cry for freedom
Now tell me what you've done, and let it go
I gave you all that I had promised
you seen wonders done in my great name
So bend down on your knee you know I'm faithful to forgive
And you'll never, never be the same
Chorus
You are righteous in my sight
You are righteous, you are
Through the Blood of Jesus Christ
You are righteous, righteous
In my sight
Bridge
You are healed, You are Blessed
You've been chosen, from the best
You are saved, You are free
You have known my, Joy and Peace
Chorus

Romans 3:21-25
But now righteousness from God, apart from the law, Has been make known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who Believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.
