I came to sit with my Father
I had so much i wanted to say
So I sat and told Him my troubles
In the rush and the usual way

But my heart suddenly realised
Thats not the way it should be
I need to sit at His feet
And wait for Him to speak to me

I sat and waited for Him
I said how sorry am I
Please forgive me Father
And I waited for Him to reply

I felt that He was smiling
And that He was drawing near
Above all the voices in my heard
Would I discern His & be able to hear?

So I sat and waited in silence
I waited for His still small voice
Oh what joy will fill my heart
When He speaks, I will rejoice

So He drew near towards me
And whispered in my ear
Im always here with you my child
You have nothing at all to fear

I promised to be with you
I have never left your side
My Holy Spirit is in you
He is always your daily guide

Trust me with all of your heart
And lean not on what you know
I have a plan for you my child
So that you will surely grow

So stay close by me always
Hear my voice in the darkest night
One day you will be in heaven
and then everything will be alright
