I Was There

Verse 1:

Remember, My child, not too long ago,

You had no friends, and you felt all alone.

You knew not the love I had for you. But, deep down in your heart you knew

There must be a true Best Friend for you.

And as I came to your heart, you let Me into your life.

And nothing could break our ties.

            For I was there when it felt like nobody cared,

            And when you had no one, I was there.

            You weren’t even lonely after a while,

            But where are you now, O My child?

Verse 2:

I led you on, and you walked with Me.

The important things you began to see. You knew since I allowed it, it was right.

I placed you where I knew it was best for you.

A purpose I had, and I led you through.

And in so many ways, you learned to be content.

You cared more to be free from sin.

            And I was there, and you knew that I really cared.

            And through everything, child, I was there.

            You wanted to seek first the kingdom of God.

            And gave Me the rest of your wants.

Verse 3:

I heard your prayers, and I gave you strength.

Through everything, you were learning faith. And as you trusted Me, I blessed you more.

I added human friendship to your new life

To cheer you and them, and to bless both sides,

And through your connection with Me,

Your links with them were real.

My providence worked things out well.

            And they were there, yes, they’re all an answer to prayer.

            Your struggles are lighter when you know they care.

            Friends are a blessing when I’m there, too.

            There are reasons I gave them to you,

ENDING:

But I was there when it felt like nobody cared

And when you had no one, I was there.

I was your Friend and you cherished Me.

My child, I just want you to see.
