Stay Close to Me
Come here, My child,
Come close to Me,
Open your ears to hear,
Your eyes to see,
Your mind to learn,
Your heart to love,
Your soul to sing
With angels above,
Your spirit to soar,
Your lips to smile,
Your feet to dance
Every step, every mile...
Yes, come here, My child,
Heed what I say,
I am near you and with you
Every step of the way.
So do not fret
When fall does the rain,
Do not worry
When pierced with pain,
Do not cry
When trials overcome,
Do not languish
When things grow wearisome.
For I am here,
Your Jesus, Your King,
I promise to carry you
Through everything.
Do you not remember
How for You I died?
Do you not recall
The tears I have dried?
So come here, My child,
To me stay near,
Let me embrace you,
Erasing your fear.
Let Me inspire
Your lips to smile,
Your feet to dance
Every step, every mile,
Your mind to learn,
Your heart to love,
Your soul to sing
With angels above,
Your ears to hear,
Your eyes to see...
Yes, stay here, My child,
Stay close to Me.
