Walk with Me, My child, through valleys gold and green
I will show you wonders that you have never seen
I'll lead you by still waters, over mountains high and low
I'll hold your hand and never leave you; no matter where you go
You are My love, My heart, My joy; Child, you are everything to Me
Walk with Me, My precious love, for all eternity
I saw your tears as you lay crying; your pain sliced through My heart
You felt so lost and lonely; it tore My world apart
You thought you were alone; you thought I couldn't see
I tried to tell you I was there, but you wouldn't listen to Me
I fell upon My knees, My love, I held you to My chest
When you screamed, I screamed, too; when you wept, I wept
You think I am far away; you think that I don't see
But how can I not feel your pain, when you are part of Me?
I saw the blood fall from your wounded heart; I caught it in My hands
I wept for all your suffering, but you thought I did not understand
You rose and walked away from Me; you left Me in the depths of pain
but I would not give up on you; I followed you again
I called your name so softly; My words softened by My love
I called to you but you turned from Me; you said you'd had enough
I closed My eyes, My tears burned hot, I could barely stand the pain
But My heart it won't give up on you, so I called to you again
My child, My love, My life, My all, stop listening to the lies
I AM always here for you; I listen to your cries
The world does not see Me, for sin has shut Me out
But I ache to enter into your life; please cast away your doubt
I am here for you, My child; I have been here all along
Please, My child, My love, My heart, come Home where you belong
I have made a place for you, My love; it's here in My embrace
See I have made it just for you; a place of love and grace
You think that I don't love you, you think that I am cruel
but My heart it aches constantly, as I stand here waiting for you
I've tried to tell you I love you, I even wrote it with My blood
"My child, I adore you; You are My GREATEST love..."
Walk with Me, My child... through the lies and pain
I will carry your burden, and you'll find peace again
Lift your eyes, My child; see beyond the past
See I have come to help you; to mend your broken heart
I know the rumours the enemy tells you; he says I'm angry and mean
but the truth is, My precious love, I want to set you free
I don't come to condemn you; I don't want you to pay for sin
I want to give you the love you ache for; but you have to let Me in
Place your hand upon My chest, feel the way My heart beats just for you
please take My hand, My love, My life, and take My heart, too
Walk with Me, My child, through valleys gold and green
and I will show you love does exist; a love you've never seen
I'll lead you by still waters, and enable you to fly high and free
I'll hold your hand and never leave you; for you are part of Me
Oh, My child, My love, My life, listen to Me, please...
I love you, I want you, I miss you; you're the very heart of Me
All My love,
God
