I AM WITH YOU

What is the depth of your deepest despair?

That you think my love cannot reach to you there

When you pour out your heart telling me your fears

Know you not that I am listening for I am a God who hears

Listening to you calling from the agony of your heartbreaking

From the trembling of your soul in despair that is shaking

Knowing your hopelessness I bring you my love

For I am almighty God and listening from above

It is my arms which will reach and will hold

Close to my bosom and sheltered in their fold

My hand will gently dry the tears from your eyes

For you are my child and I hear your anguished cries

Great is my comfort and peaceful my rest

Lay your weary head gently on my breast

Down your wet cheeks slips another silent tear

But you are not alone for I am with you here

I will hold you child in the darkness of your night

When blackness encloses you and shuts out the light

In the shadows I am with you; you will hear my sweet voice

I will turn your tears to laughter and help you rejoice

I love you my child and I want you to know

I am in the deep valley of the journey that you go

And I will lead you to the sunshine of the mountain top high

Although the way I lead; you do not understand why

Someday you will know and understand

Why I led you this road with my nail scarred hand

But know my child you are in my love

And I am gently leading you to a home up above

No more crying on its golden shore

No heartaches and tears for you anymore

No more pain to try and to test

But only everlasting joy in your eternal rest
