My heart and arms reach out
To you, to you beyond all doubt
To bring you comfort, hope and cheer
When in this hour things look drear.
May my love comfort you
Just as warmth and sunshine do;
To you, to you I want to be
Your source of life security.
Upon my shoulder rest your head
Set aside all fear and dread;
I've come to offer joy and gladness
And to taxe away all sadness.
Within me may you find the peace
Solace, consolation and surcease
From the sorrow and the heartache
That almost make the heart break.
May I be the one to give
New confidence to help you live
Your every hour and every day
In God's ordained, appointed way.
