[Verse 1] I know I shouldn’t worry about my children, But I cry sometimes at night. Today I take authority, Speaking power over their life. All my children will have God for their Teacher, God, You’re the One who can reach them. If You are their Teacher, They’re gonna be alright. So I’m gonna let go, I’ve been holding on too tight. [Pre-Chorus] Some have been out of step with You for a long time, Lost in the wrong before they were born. But You have been so kind, Your grace covered them like You covered me. Now I’m covering them in prayer, Lord, hear my plea-ee-ee. [Chorus] I’m pointing them in the right direction, So when they’re old they won’t be lost. Yes, I’m pointing them to Jesus, No matter, no matter the cost. All my children will have You, God, for their Teacher, You’re the only One, the only One who can reach them. [Verse 2] I’m still learning how to live this new life right now, Turning my back on sin, You’re teaching me how. How to live holy and honor You with my life. I’m not perfect, but I’m living right. [Pre-Chorus] Let them see You in my reflection, Pointing them in the right direction. So when they’re old they won’t be lost. I’m pointing, I’m praying, I’m standing on the wall. All my children will have You for their Teacher, You promised that You would reach them. [Chorus] I’m pointing them in the right direction, So when they’re old they won’t be lost. Yes, I’m pointing them to Jesus, No matter, no matter the cost. All my children will have You, God, for their Teacher, You’re the only One, the only One who can reach them. [Bridge] I once was young, now I’m old, Never once have I seen the righteous forsaken. You never left me, And You won’t leave them. You’ll save down to a thousand generations. I declare it again—ohhh, ohhh. Once I was young, but now I’m old, Never once have I seen the righteous forsaken. You never left me, And You won’t leave them. You’ll save down to a thousand generations. [Ad Lib - Declaration] All my children will have You, God, for their Teacher. What a Mentor, what a Mentor! You will reach them. I’m pointing them right so they won’t be lost, God-filled, God-honoring, Right now, no matter the cost. A thousand generations, That’s what You said. I’ve been young, now my hair is gray, But You never will abandon us. You will stay. My children won’t be lost, They’re never alone. They have God for their Teacher— They’re coming home! Ohhh, ohhh, yes! God, bring them home. [Final Vamp] Bring them home, Lord, bring them home. Reach them, Lord, reach them. Keep them, Lord, keep them. All my children belong to You. A thousand generations, Your promise will stand. All my children are covered, They’re held in Your hand. Bring them home, Lord, bring them home. Ohhh, ohhh, yes! God, bring them home.
