God saw that you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be

So He put His arms around you and
whispered "Come To Me"

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE



The Lord will never leave us nor
forsake us,

He promised He'd be with us through
it all.

It often seems He'd walking right
besids us

As He guides us through our
problems, large and small.

But there are times we just can't
feel His presence,

When the road's so rough we need
Him all the more.

We wonder why we're so alone and
helpless,

Why His hand's are not there to
lead us as before.

But if we listen quietly, He'll
tell us,

"Take a monent and remember what I
said:

If you fail to see me Me walking
right beside you,

It's because I have you in My arms
instead.

For together we will cross the
highest montain,

Together we will face the stormy
sea.

You never are alone, you're never
helpless!

I'll carry you~ let go and lean on
Me"

I know there nothing, I can say,
to make you feel better, but when
you can look back through the years
at memories stored away, memories
to bring a smile and help you
through the day.
