Sit with me a while
Let me calm your misbehaving heart
You are riddled with complexities
Saddled by insecurities
Often misunderstood by those who should know better
I know the longings deep inside
And the misgivings you try to hide
You put on your best smile
To cover up the pain that time won’t heal
That makeup can’t conceal
You push it all down
Hoping your service to me might drown that ache
Yet it remains
Unchanged by circumstance
Oh little one so full of pain
Bring your heart to me
I’ll be gentle
I’ll be kind
I won’t toss it around carelessly
That’s not who I am
Cast your cares on me
I am patient
I am good
The one who loves you until the end
And I’d do it all again
Sit with me a while
Until your questions no longer matter
Because you’re lost in the splendor
Of all I am
I can take what’s broken and make it whole
I can breathe new life into your dry bones
There’s a longing you can’t quite define
A place you’ve been trying to find
It’s hidden deep within the wells of my living waters
A place that’s expansive and without borders
It can only be found in my presence
At my feet
Choose the greater thing
To fulfill your true need
Come and sit with me
