Innocent Child
Words & Music by Steve Siler
Precious one
I know you’ve been sad for so long
Don’t blame yourself
You didn’t do anything wrong
You only wanted attention
Every child needs the same
You are as pure as a flower
In the cleansing rain
It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child
It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child
Precious one
I know the nightmares you’ve had
Don’t be ashamed
You didn’t do anything bad
You only wanted approval
Every child needs love
You are a perfect creation
of the Holy One
It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child
It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child

From the moment I put this song on, I began to weep and feel the presence of my Heavenly Father. The depth of my grief was at times more than I could bear as it came from depths unknown to me. I sat for several hours just listening and allow the healing God wanted to bring to me.

Innocent Child made me cry. I’ve never felt as though anyone understood the pain and thoughts I have going through my head. You captured the guilt, self-blame, self-loathing, the wondering of what I did wrong. You also addressed a big issue with me and that is my shame. It also makes me realize that other people feel this way and also live the nightmares I still live. So with that I am truly blessed that God blessed you with your gift of music.

So good. I’m going to share Innocent Child with other therapists on staff here because I know it will be a blessing to our clients.
