I awoke with aching in my heart
Unsure I'd make it through
Feeling lonely all the day,
Not knowing what to do.

Sadness buried deep inside
Down, where no-one sees,
While longing to get on with life,
And push aside my fears.

Then as I drooped, I felt a gentle touch,
A soft whisper in my ear,
Such a gentle Hand reached down
And brushed aside my tears.

Do not weep my precious child,
For I, your Lord, am near,
Just lean upon My heart
Your crying I can hear.

My heart beats always for you,
I hold you in My love,
I'm right here, you can touch Me,
Don't think I'm far above.

Reach out and pull Me close,
I long to be your Friend,
My life in you goes on forever,
In Me, there is no end.

Do you feel safe now
Embalmed in warm Sonshine,
You can trust Me with your heart,
Because dear one, you're mine.
