Oh my dear child
I see your tears
Every rainy day comes
Before the sun
Oh my dear child
It will only be
For a little while
For a little while
In death or life
From rest to rise
In silence now
I'm here
I know your fears
And its stinging wiles
I won't disappear
Through stormy times
Don't be afraid
When lions roar
'Cause even lions fear
When Father's here
My arm's embrace
My love's refrain
My shadow's grace
My word proclaims
From start to end my presence remains
Depart nor send I shall not rend
These arms were held wide open when
You needed me most
These arms are held wide open when
You needed me most
Oh my dear child
I know your tears
Every rainy day comes
Before the sun
Oh my dear child
It will only be
For a little while
Let me draw near
