Life makes me ache

 with a pain deep in my chest

Though there's joy in the mourning 

 there's also a kind of helplessness 

 like I'm a leaf tossed on the surface of a vsst sea

 Marveling at the lightnings and the thunderings

 even as I'm drowning 

The enormity of it all

 causes the ache to rise and fall

It's sometimes near the surface 

 sometimes buried deep

Sometimes I laugh

 sometimes I weep

 but the ache of living is never far from me

The innocence of a child

 is my lofty goal

 to take no care for thoughts

 and no thoughts for cares

 that burden my soul

To trust my Father 

 like His son Jesus did -

 never straying from the love that He gives

Able to truly love

 in each moment like it's all there is

Come to Me

 all of ye

 who are weary

 and laden with heavy

 burdens and cares

 and I will give you rest

 if with Me you'll share

 yes, share your heart with Me

 For I love you faithfully 

 I am not as men

 that I would lie

 or waver or doubt

 My love for you

 is always true

 inside and out
