I Was On Your Mind

by slm - Libra

I was on Your mind in the garden when You prayed
And also in the story about the sheep that had strayed
You thought of me in the parable of the wayward son
And I was on Your mind when You said Your job was done

I was on Your mind when You said the blind can see
And also when You said let the children come to Me
I don't deserve the love You give or Your saving grace
Or the peace of humbleness, that is now in place

I was on Your mind long before I knew Your name
As You hung upon a cross and accepted all my pain
I was on Your mind when You said Your job was done
I never truly realized that the victory had been won

I was on Your mind in the garden when You prayed
And also in the story about the sheep that had strayed
Give me strength and courage until my time is done
To be the faithful servant and not the wayward son
