Come on in and sit right down
Meet a man who loves you so.
He's been waiting a very long time.
He’s so gentle. He’s so kind.
Lay your troubles upon His shoulders.
He’ll ease the pain that’s in your heart.
He’ll set you free,
And then you’ll be,
Like the dove from Noah’s ark.
He gave you life,
And watched you grow.
He saw the hurt that you lived through.
He sent His angels down one day.
You never saw them. You looked away.
He left His Book for you to read,
To help you learn what’s wrong and right,
But the Book lay still,
Against His will,
The Book He left; the Book of Life.
The day you had your accident,
He was there,
The day you lost the one you loved,
He was there.
The day you lost all your hope;
The day you could no longer cope;
He was there.
The day you felt all alone,
He was there.
He sent His angels down once more;
You had no time; You closed the door.
It made him sad and broke His heart.
But He gave His word,
He’d never part.
Then one night on your knees,
You prayed to him to help you please.
In a dream, He came to you;
“Follow my words and I’ll guide you through.
Look to the Light and hear my voice.
Everything is going to be all right.”
“Follow my words and I’ll walk you through.
Look to the Light, I’m there with you.
Everything is going to be all right.”
