Wanted

One little girl sat all alone
Her grieving soul was unknown
Her face was dirty, her clothes were poor
Her body was bruised, battered, and sore
By the side of the road she sat down to cry
For the cruel world is unloving and lies

Oh little one come to me
Oh little one now you are free
Oh little one I love you can you see
Oh little one you are wanted by me

He wiped her tears and kissed her head
He caressed her cheek and gently said
Your bonds of hatred and loneliness I will sever
You are my daughter now and forever
Your life by sin, once was haunted
But nevermore, my child, you're wanted

Her heart could not see hope through the pain
Everyone had used her just for their gain
But then He came, the healer of her soul
He took her broken heart and made her whole
He placed her on His lap and whispered in her ear
I will love you, I will always love you, I am here

Oh little one come to me
Oh little one now you are free
Oh little one I love you can you see
Oh little one you are wanted by me

He wiped her tears and kissed her head
He caressed her cheek and gently said
Your bonds of hatred and loneliness I will sever
You are my daughter now and forever
Your life by sin, once was haunted
But nevermore, my child, you're wanted

New clothes were given her pure and white
She entered the city that glittered in His light
You will be my daughter to stay by my side
A beautiful princess no longer to hide
Then she cried "This is too wonderful to be true
I am washed in His blood. I am made new"

Oh little one come to me
Oh little one now you are free
Oh little one I love you can you see
Oh little one you are wanted by me

He wiped her tears and kissed her head
He caressed her cheek and gently said
Your bonds of hatred and loneliness I will sever
You are my daughter now and forever
Your life by sin, once was haunted
But nevermore, my child, you're wanted
