He Is Always There
Feeling lost and alone,
wandering, looking for a way home,
going from place to place,
looking for that familiar face.
He has always been there besides you.
Oh, you never ever knew.
He had never gone away.
He was with you each and every day!
So intent on looking in all the wrong ways,
you could not hear him say,
Look to me, my friend.
Your fears I will ease, your broken heart I will mend.
I'll guide you on a righteous road.
In my arms, you I will enfold
To protect you from hurt and fear.
You are my child, to me you are so dear!
Look to me, my little Lamb,
For my name is Jesus, that's who I am!
(c) Teresa Bridges
