You and I

Photography by Machi Yamaguchi, Uganda

Child, think not that you are alone

Think not that I don’t care

Believe only in My Love for you

Trust that I am truly there.

There...in your valleys, your shadows of death,

There...in your Gesthemane

There...in your own Golgatha

There...if you search, you will find Me.

You think you’ve lost a precious love

It’s true—you’ve given it away

But now that you’ve abandoned Self,

I stand here ready to repay.

With arms outstretched, I beckon you

To look upon this cross

The tears you weep, I bleed them too

I feel your torment and loss.

And I long to hold you in my arms,

To wipe away your tears

Sweet Child, cry them no more now

Behold…the light appears.

And Love will reawaken your heart

In time, you’ll start to fly

You’ll know you were never truly alone—

‘Twas always you…and I.
