The Listener

Often it appears that no-one
Understands our state of mind
No-one has the time to listen
Not one shoulder can we find
Things aren't lost though I've discovered
Someone who is always there
JESUS, ready with the answer
To our earnest pleading prayer.

All we need to do is ask Him
To come in our lives to share
And although life may hold heartaches
He will always be right there
Never will He disappoint us
He's a faithful loving friend
Who'll bring comfort, show compassion
And His love will never end.

What a joy to come before Him
Tell Him all our innermost fears
Share with Him our deepest longings
He will stoop to dry our tears
Such a peace then comes upon us
When we kneel before His throne
Talking, listening, simply resting
In His arms, no more alone.
