The peace of a child's face, quiet in repose
The eyelashes flutter, the thumb is sucked
As she lays down her head and drifts off
In the dreamland, what will be?

Remembering the joy of playing in the park
Swinging way up high, running oh so fast
Playing with her brothers, playing with the cat
Perhaps she dreams of Jack?

Rather, I believe, she is resting in the arms
Of her Lord and King, telling Him her story
Hearing His in return, hearing of His love
His promise for her life, to love her eternal.

The peace on her face as she rests in His arms
“I love you, my child, and I have great plans
My daughter, you will grow strong in your faith
Your voice will be true as you sing praises of your King.”

“Before your parents knew you, I formed your every bone.
The hairs on your head placed there by My hand.
My dear child, use the words and voice I give
Share your faith and live true for me.”

A Father's Embrace

A Father's Embrace
Lillian Ford


I hear your call, I hear your pain
My child, I will always be near to you
Nothing you can do will make Me leave
I listen to your cry; come to Me, my child.

My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

As you cry out to me morning, noon and night,
I will always hear and answer your cry
My heart breaks for you as I hear your pain
My child, you will always be Mine.

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

In every part of your life, I am there
In your joy and in your pain, in your sickness and in your health
Call My name and I will hear
Lift your eyes to heaven and I will be there

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

Do you see the beauty around you?
The mountains and valleys, oceans and plains
All that you see is My love story to you
My love for you is all around and written in the very stars in the sky.

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

The very air you breathe, the very life you have
All that I created, I give to you.
I love you so dearly and will never leave your side
I will always be with you, my child, I feel your pain and feel your joy.
You are my child and I will forever love you with all that I am.

Nothing you do will make Me stop loving you
My love will always surround you
My arms will hold you tight.

Desperation

Speak to me, Lord, let me hear Your voice
Show me Your way and fill me with Your peace.
Lord, I feel so lost and alone; I need to feel You near.
I cry out to You, Lord; show me the way!

I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.

What did I do? Why do I feel this?
Pain, uncertainty, guilt, sorrow.
Lord, I beg You to come and wash over me
Wash this sin away that I may be
In Your presence again, I plead.

I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.

I yearn to be with You, my Lord and King.
Where I feel no sorrow, no pain, only joy at Your side
I need You, Lord, I need to be with You
No more sin, no more broken hearts.
Lord, guide me home, safely to Your side.

I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.

Your all encompassing love, like a Father for His children
The pain You must have felt at the sacrifice
The sacrifice of Your Son, the death that saved us all
The joy You felt as He rose again and
Saved all Your sons and daughters.

Oh, Lord, I thank You every day of my life.
You saved my soul, You gave me breath
With the sacrifice of You beloved Son.

Follow Me

“Follow Me,” says the Father to His children.
“Follow Me as I show you new and exciting things!”
“Follow Me,” says the Teacher to His students.
“Follow Me as I lead you away from danger.”

I will follow, all of my days
Show me Your ways
I beg You, please.

“Follow Me,” says He. “I do not promise and easy road.
In fact, I tell you now, it will be hard.
There will be persecution; there will be pain
But I promise you, the reward is great!”

I will follow, all of my days
Show me Your ways
I beg You, please.

“Follow Me,” says my King.
“You will hear My voice, you will feel my hand.
I will guide you to adventures untold.
As you give your life, I will give you mine.
Follow Me.”

I will follow, all of my days
Show me Your ways
I beg You, please.

My Call

I have no crowns of thorns; I have no courts of glory.
I have no purple robes; I have no coins of gold.
Yet I am set apart to worship our King.
Yet I am set apart to glorify our King.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

I have my hands and feet, I feel them moving.
I have my human heart, I feel it breaking.
I have my spoken words, I hear them teaching.
Move in me, my King; use my life, my Lord.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

Even in the darkness, let me shine Your light.
Even through trials, You show me the way.
Use me forever, I am Your child.
Mold me and make me into Your will.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.

You give me the words, I will use them.
You give me the passion, I will live it.
You give me the pathway, I will follow.
You give me my life, let me use it well.

I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.
I will worship; I will glorify.
For He is worthy; for He is holy.
