My Child

I hear a child crying,
my heart feels its every sighing.

I hear a child praying,
I hear every word it is saying.

I've counted every tear on your cheek,
I'm here to carry you when you grow weak

Did you forget that I know your every need,
just have faith the size of a tiny mustard seed.

Hold onto me and a miracle you will see,
I want everyone to know it came from me.

I don't want anyone to ever doubt,
or wonder how it all came about.

When you don't get your answer right away,
you give up and like the trees in a wind begin to sway.

You think I don't care when your world falls apart,
but trust me my child, I do and it breaks my heart.

Don't lose your faith,
lift your voice in praise.

I'll always be right here by your side,
and dry all the tears that fall from your eyes.
