Come Child

Can I stay right here beside you I don’t wanna leave right now

Cause I am feeling so alone and I really don’t know how

To get through this on my own so I ask if you don’t mind

Can I stay here can I pray here and lean on you a while

Will you hold my hand and tell me that you know my suffering

And though I must go through it you’ll go all the way with me

And together we can do it if you help me to my feet

I can stand please hold my hand and cling to me

You said come child bring me your burdens come child bring me your cares

Come child come sit at my feet you know your father is there

Can I place my feet in footprints that you’ve already made

I have no fear or worry if I let you go ahead

I can make the journey if you’ll lead me all the way

If you show me where to go I will follow you and stay

You said come child bring me your burdens come child bring me your cares

Come child come sit at my feet you know your father is there

Will you take me to the places where sorrow becomes sweet

As I cling to nail scarred hands and follow nail pierced feet

But if I leave the path and start to fall behind

If you just stop I will catch up and lean on you a while

You said come child bring me your burdens come child bring me your cares

Come child come sit at my feet you know your father is there

You said come child bring me your burdens come child bring me your cares

Come child come sit at my feet you know your father is there
