This Child
by Belinda van Rensburg
Lord, this child has belonged to You
From the moment that I knew
The truth of Jesus Christ, Your Son;
The Lamb of God, the Risen One.
You took me as I came to You -
My heart a stone, sinful, untrue;
Surrounded by a self-built wall -
I did not know You God, at all.
When life was bleak; unbearable;
When all seemed lost and terrible
You touched my soul, You called my name;
Out of the dark to You I came!
You brought me into Your bright Light -
Brilliant, shining, spotless, white;
Healed all my brokenness and pain,
Renewed my mind and made me sane.
Beloved child I have become,
Bought with the Blood of Your own Son;
Allowed to sit down at Your feet,
And listen to Your Voice so sweet.
