Father
Take me into Your sweet arms
And rock me for a little while
Your arms of love surround me
Upon my face the sweetest smile

Rock me were I a baby
To a soft and swingin' beat
Gaze Your light down upon me
My face Your brilliance to meet

I've had my share of moments
And times when I have been weak
Times I've turned my back to You
And forgotten what I seek

Your presence in every move
And action that I take
Guiding through this one lifetime
Me never to forsake

Not alone for me, my Lord
Others too afraid to ask
Help me seek their spirit needs
In Your glory they will bask

Illumine Yourself through me
A beacon to all the others
Lost ones wandering the dark
Searching for their squad of brothers.
