When my heart is troubled,
To You I draw nigh;
You wipe every tear,
Relieve every sigh.

Your eyes aglow
With love tender and pure
Remind me that with You
I am safe and secure.



No trouble is too heavy,
No hurdle too wide,
For You, my Lord Jesus,
Are here by my side.

You lead me to the hill,
To the Mount of Calvary;
There Your pure love
Upon the Cross I see.



Child, all of your worries
I carried right there;
Release every concern,
Every trouble, every fear.

I died for you, child,
That with joy you may live;
Your every burden I carry,
Your every sin I forgive.



Worry not one moment
When things go awry;
Recall the depth of My love,
For You I chose to die.

When your heart is heavy,
Your eyes ready to tear,
Come nigh unto Me,
Travel with Me here.



Lord, I see in Your Cross
Love tender and pure;
I know that with You
I am safe and secure.

So when my heart is troubled,
To You I draw nigh.
I recall the depth of Your love:
For me You chose to die.

Purposeful Pathway

Draw nigh to God,
and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts,
ye double minded.
James 4:8 (KJV)
