"My Child, I Am Here"
Dear Lord, what's wrong with me?
I don't know what to do,
I feel like the person I am isn't me,
When will this all be through?
Lord you've seen the pain I've suffered,
And you know how long it's been,
But you say by your blood I'm covered,
And you will forgive all my sins.
So, Lord, why is it that I doubt you?
And make things more complicated,
Why is it I just can't see what is true?
Why do I bring in things unrelated?
Lord, I know that you are the only way,
But can't you see all this temptation?
I know I don't have to believe what people say,
Lord please give me a revelation.
I know you've seen everything in my past,
And you've been there to help me,
I just don't know how much longer I can last,
I don't know why it's so hard now to see.
Lord, can't you see that I'm so stressed?
And don't you see no one understands,
Lord, I feel so lonely and depressed,
Lord, won't you steady my shaking hands?
Then you say, "My child can't you feel my touch,"
And see that I've always been here?
Don't you know I love you so much,
I've been here through all your years.
Dear child, I see you struggling with your life,
And you feel like you're lost and can't be found,
My child just give me your strife,
And I'll plant your feet on solid ground.
For don't you know my burden is easy and my yoke is light,
And you know I'll see you through,
So why my child do I see such fright,
Why dear child are you so blue?
My child, I am the one who formed you,
So unique you are one of a kind,
There is no reason to think I'm not here for you,
My child I will give you peace of mind.
Don't you know all you have to do is give in,
My child there is no need to be bold,
Dear child you don't have to carry all the sin,
Give it to me and let my riches unfold.
Dear child when you feel all alone,
Know that is never true,
Although you're flesh and bone,
I'm always here for you.
What else can I do to let you know,
That I will never leave you,
I don't know what more I can show,
I already gave my life for you.
My child there are prints on my feet and hands,
And a mark through my side,
I don't know why you think I can't understand,
Don't you know with me there is nothing to hide.
You are my child, when you are in pain so am I,
I hate it when I see you in tears,
I loved you so much that I was willing to die,
So why would you think I wouldn't be here?
Child, I just wanted to tell you tonight,
That I will always be your friend,
You just can't see what I have in sight,
But I am here for you until the end.
Never give up when you think you're all alone,
That's when I've got you by the arm,
My love for you will be shown,
And I will always keep you safe from harm.
