Like a child afraid in the night,
I am crying for the light.
Needing to see what lies ahead,
Clouds of fear invade my head.

Father, take these fears from me,
Oh, how I long to finally be free.
I need Your help, for I am weak,
You and You alone are all I seek.

Safe in your arms is where I'll stay,
Knowing my fears will melt away.
Feeling Your presence all around,
Everything, not of You, will drown.
