As I watch the leaves fall,
From trees that stood tall,
With their branches laid bare,
I wonder if anyone cares.
 
But as I look to the ground,
The leaves scurry around,
And they leap in the breeze,
Like dancing bumble bees.
 
Delight fills the air,
“Someone really cares!”
Sing the birds in the sky.
“Turn and look up high!”
 
The clouds start to part,
Revealing a beautiful heart,
So glorious and so true,
That deep inside I knew…
 
There was a love so great,
It would erase all the hate,
And that Jesus Christ loves me,
“Praise God! My heart sees!”

Being content in all things,
Is what I aim to be.
Then troubles sneak up, behind my back,
And I discover that I cannot see…
The anger that pulls me under,
The terror that threatens my soul,
And the lies that keep me captive,
God, help me! Make me whole.
 
A hand reaches out towards me –
Calmness fills the air,
A holy Presence surrounds me,
With gentleness and care.
 
I AM your Rock to stand on,
In Me there’s nothing to fear,
I AM your Shelter in the storm,
I’ll protect you. I’m always here.

In this world you’ll have trouble,
But do not be afraid,
For I have defeated the darkness.
I’m the One who came to save.
Rest in Me, Jesus Christ,
And let Me set you free,
To release beauty all around you,
And to be who you need to be.

In the woundedness of being an outcast,
In the loneliness of living in fear,
In the cringing from constant insults.
We hide in darkness with tears.
 
“I AM right here with you,
Come into My warm embrace,
I feel your pain and your sorrow,
I will blanket you with goodness & grace.
Though the world may reject you,
I, Jesus, never leave your side.
Let ME bless you with loving-kindness,
In My Presence, you can always hide.
 
“I want you to know that I love you,
I can heal those painful wounds,
I have marvelous things for you --
In the morning, evening and noon.
I will walk gently beside you,
And fill you with comfort and peace,
And restore what has been stolen,
So your sorrows and pain will cease.”
