When times are hard;
days seem weary; I am there
I am waiting; when you bow
your head in Prayer.
I told you when you are
too tired, or scared to cry
I am there my son; my daughter;
it is I, who stands by.
I was there when you were born;
your family loved you so.
I will be there when you die;
to Heaven; I'd have you go.
Look up to the sky; I am farther away;
but in your heart
Though sometimes you leave me
out for a bit; I shall not part.
I am there when you fall;
I lift you up and take you back again.
I hold you closely to my heart,
and make you clean from sin
Temptation comes to you;
I know at times you cannot refrain.
When you fall again; your life
feels cold; as the winter rain.
I'm there when you or a loved one
is ill; when a babe is born.
I'll be there when you leave this world;
I will help the babe to mourn.
I'm there with you when the rains fall;
or snow is upon the ground...
When you go through trials
and tribulations; I can be found.
