Some days,
Father, I cannot bear,
The absence of
Your touch.
I cannot wait
for Your embrace
That I have
missed so very much.
In this abyss
of worldly darkness
I stumble but
I fall into the arms of Him
Who lifts me higher
than I can go.
I fly to You, Father,
on my wings of faith,
I sail through
stormy skies,
Seeking for
Thy face.
Look Father,
no hands!
Only trust in
these strong arms
Of my Saviour’s
loving grace.
Son of my body,
Heart of my heart,
I give you to God,
Knowing not despair,
I know my son, you will be safe
In his merciful, tender care.
I know He will watch you
And honour your faith;
I trust He will guard you
Against the open jaws of hate.
Son of my body,
Heart of my heart,
I will wait with faith
Knowing not despair,
I know you will return
To my loving, tender care.

(Art: Divine Call By Sandy Freckleton Gagon)
I will look for Thee in faith
My Lord and my God;
When I am oppressed,
When I am unloved,
When I am wronged.
I will look for Thee
When I can walk no more;
And I will find Thee,
The Saviour of my soul,
Thou who waits for those who call,
To renew their strength,
To save them from their fall.
- CATHRYNE ALLEN
