Lyrics by Steve Pasakarnis, © 2012
Verse 1
I have arrived at that place in life,
Where I dreamed to be someday.
The kids are grown, my time’s my own,
It’s now easy to chart my way.
Verse 2
There is this girl, half way around the world,
With no place she can call home.
She’s never had the blessing of,
A loving family of her own.
Looking at her I ask,
God are You calling me to be a father once again?
CHORUS
It’s just one child, what difference would it make,
To bring home just one orphan, is it worth the risks I’ll take?
Someone who cares, with love to share,
Is what she’s longing for.
So do I dare, to make a world of difference to . . .
(So I will dare,)
That one child.
BRIDGE
If I ignore Your call, to give my all,
Just as Jesus did . . . . .
Will that be who I want to see in the mirror looking back at me?
Looking at her I know,
God You are calling me to be a father once again!
CHORUS
So use me Lord, to make a world of difference to . . .
That one child.
