I am close to you,

Little child, I am near,

I am beside you,

Yes, I am here,


Holding your hand,

Guiding the way,

Bringing the sunlight

To every day,





Showering graces

Upon your soul,

Healing with mercy,

Making you whole..


So do not worry,

Do not cry,

Do not grow weary,

Do not sigh,





I am working

Good in all things;

Do you not trust

In all My love brings?


Though rain now pours,

See how joy does shine

There on the horizon

Heavenly, divine.





So smile and sing,

Let not tears fall,

For I am your joy

In the midst of it all.


I am your sunshine

Beaming each day,

I am the dance

On your pathway,





Yes, I am light

Shining ever clear..

Smile, yes, smile,

For Your Jesus is near!
