Dear Child, may I walk with you
On your journey
May I sit with you
And hold you while you cry

Your tears are falling down like rain
You walk alone all in shame
Oh, child, what a lie!

‘Cause the day is gray
It’s gone bad
I know you’re feeling somewhat sad

But my arms are open
My love is here
I ready to draw you near
And child you are mine!

You’ll never walk alone again
I will always be your friend
Through the rain and wind the stormy gall
My love for you will never fail!
And child you are mine

I’m waiting with arms reached out
My love for you I want to shout
I’ll spread my arms and calm the wind
My cloak of grace to you I’ll send

Please scream my name and take my hand
I’ll lead you to the promise land
Oh, child, what a journey!

‘Cause even when the day is gray
And it’s gone bad
I know you’re feeling somewhat sad

But my arms are open
My love is here
I ready to draw you near
And child you are mine!

You’ll never walk alone again
I will always be your friend
Through the rain and wind the stormy gall
My love for you will never fail!
And child you are mine

More precious than you’ll ever know
Cleansed and white, pure as snow
Dear child you are mine!
