I Close My Eyes

When the world I live in is spinning out of control I seek you Lord I grab on and take hold I close my eyes and picture a place Of your words of truth and sufficient grace I run to you like child with arms open wide To take refuge in your light darkness cannot hide You swoop me up like Father protecting his own Whispering softly you are my child and never alone My face stained with tears of agony and disgrace Are gone in an instant removed and replaced Peace beyond measure and love surely abounds My spirit wells up in me my feet on solid ground I open my eyes now with new faith and hope Knowing your love will carry me even when I can't cope.
