Marty Clark - Pride and Joy Lyrics

I wrapped you in love as I knit you together
In holy seclusion, the dark of the womb
Watched you grow up and run from me, leaving us broken
But still, child, I never stop thinking of you
What a big mess of trouble you've stumbled into
Trying to make it out there on your own
I see you face down...

In the muck of your sins, devastated
Why dine with the swine when the Father is waiting
Return not a slave but a son liberated and free
You will be my pride and joy

It's crazy indeed that I'd run to embrace you
When I know your thoughts and your every move
All your fears and your failures, your deepest regrets
All your secrets and yet I am mad about you
I abandon my pride as I chase down your heart
Dy'ng to hold you again in my arms
I see you face down...
