ALONE WITH YOU
Silence and loneliness are there
to welcome me as the day breaks,
But, Lord you are there to greet me
with a smile, as I awake.
Friends have come and gone,
but you have stood by me always,
Comforting me, encouraging me
and listening to every word I say.
I am often alone, missing the friends
that used to be near,
I miss their laughter and the way
they always brought me joy and cheer.
You see my grieving heart
and fill that empty space,
You speak words of love
and tenderly kiss my tear
that falls down my face.
Lord, today, I am alone with you,
And I know in all things
You will see me through
When I am alone, there
You will always be,
You will never leave or forsake me.
When I am falling,
you reach out to me
With your strong, gentle hand,
You carry me when I am
Too weak to stand.
You are there right beside me,
Every step of the way,
Your Everlasting arms are wrapped
Around me every single day.
If I could see you with my eyes,
I wouldn’t doubt sometimes
That you are here,
If I could see your beautiful face,
I wouldn’t be overcome by all my fears.
I wish I could see the
Imprint of your footsteps
Next to me as I walk,
I wish I could hear the sweetness
Of your voice when you talk.
I can listen to you with my heart
And I take a deep breath to breathe you in,
When I need a friend, you are there
on the days when I need some comforting.
Sometimes I go about my day,
Forgetting that you are waiting for me
To sit and talk to you,
I rush around, thinking there are
More important things to do.
But there’s nothing like a lonely day
When all I have is my friend Jesus to rely on,
He has become my joy,
My strength and I know to Him I belong.
When I am alone with Him,
I forget about the earthly things,
He is a symphony of beautiful music;
He gives me the songs in my heart to sing.
He is my peace in the raging storms
And my rainbow in the pouring rain,
When dark clouds surround me,
He is the one who gives me sunshine again.
When the friends were gone,
I got to know you more than ever,
The lonely days allowed me
To know you so much better.
I am not alone when I’m with you;
In you a faithful friend I have found,
Now I can say I really know you;
You have never failed me or let me down.
So when the days are silent,
I will sit with you, still and quiet.
And listen to the wonderful words
You have to say,
When I am with my friend JESUS,
There’s never a lonely day.
