I need you

Sometimes I wish that I didn’t need you so much.

Sometimes I wish I could handle things on my own.

In those times I try to do things alone

Then I fall, it hurts

You lift me up, and take me up into your arms

I feel safe and I can rest

But again I try to walk alone

It’s of no use.

My legs freeze to the ground

Once more you come and lift me up

You take me into your loving arms

This time you stroke my cheek

You look at me and wipe away my tears

Some tears fall from your eyes as well

The pain is gone; you have taken it from me

But again I try to walk on my own

Now I’m lying flat on the floor

I can’t get up

Your hands grab me and pull me up again

The light gets bright, it stings

All of my stains show

You take my clothes, wash them clean

And give them back to me

I realize that I can’t do anything but to keep

Close to you Father

In your love I’m safe
