Like a frightened child,
I run to You and find
All the confusing things disappear
In the nearness of You.
I can nestle into Your lap,
Leaning my head against Your chest,
Letting the rhythm of Your heartbeat
Drown out all the other noises
Beating at my soul.
You rock me
In the comfort of Your arms, Abba.
Finally, my heart settles,
Matching the tempo of Yours,
Till I fall asleep in contentedness,
Secure in Your safety.
There is no peace like Your peace.
There is no rest like Your rest.
There is no love like Your love.
All my frantic striving ceases
When I remember to turn to You.
Shepherd most holy,
Keep bringing my heart back to You,
No matter how often I stray.
