Prayer

God whispers my name
Just as gently as He can.
He breathes strength upon me
When I don't think I can stand.

His arms are opened wide
For me to step into.
When I don't think I can
He says "I'll carry you."

My Jesus my God is there
When the light fades from my eyes.
When my heart begins to grieve
It's really no surprise.

He wraps me in His warm embrace,
He puts His hand beneath my chin,
He gently coaxes then waits for me,
To raise my eyes and talk to Him.

It doesn't matter what I say
Or the emotions I go through,
He'll listen to me for hours,
Absolutely any time I choose.

I can lay down my confusion
I can give Him all my sorrow,
I can cry to Him in anger
For all my fears about tomorrow.

His fingers sweep across my cheeks
To brush the tears away,
He's my Dearest Comforter
When all I feel is pain.

His hand stays out to steady me
Until I think I've found my feet.
He's the song inside my heart,
Played in every single beat.

He's my Master and my Savior
My very Dearest Friend.
And when I'm finished here,
In His arms is where I'll end.
