"Always Be So Near"

My world was touched
by His hand, and its
loneliness was chased
away.

Into my world came
such spiritual happiness,
and much more a need
for His love to stay

He taught me to love
my fellow humans, and
to love His Father first
of all.

He promised me if I
did all these things,
never hard would be
my fall.

He filled my heart with
an all believing faith,
that He promised I would
always keep

He told me never to
doubt again, for He
would always be on
call for me

He gave to me sweet
treasures that with
others He allowed me
to share

And He promised that
Even when I would
Sleep, that He would
always be so near.
