Life can feel so cold on barren heights
But, please don't lose your trust
Or cry too much
There is a friend so very close
Someone you can love

Open wide your hurting heart, don't run
But turn to only come
Don't fear the night, you have a friend
Today, tonight, tomorrow,
With care that never ends

Don't veer, be shy, nor hesitate
In shadows hide, or run from light
There's one who always knows your plight
For e'en in thunder, lightening strike
There's arms that open wide

Breathe in, breathe out, glance all about
There is all that you need
E'en in coldest winter winds
Know rest, feel safe, secure
Love whispers, tenderly

He's with you now, He's all around
Although you cannot see
Don't lose your trust
You cannot lose, He cried, He died
For you to be, right now, eternally

God will give us rest.
All He asks is that we come to Him...
that we spend a while thinking about Him, talking to Him,
listening in silence, totally and thoroughly lost in the
hiding place of His presence.
Charles (Chuck) Swindoll
