Look Up, My Child

Why is it that, whenever we are in trouble, we look to other people to help us, or worry and fret because we can't seem to find an answer or the help we need? Why do we so often forget that, if we would just look up to the Lord and reach out to Him, He is waiting there to hold us and take the load from our shoulders? I pray that these words He has given me will encourage you to remember that He IS always there, and that He ALWAYS has the answer.

LOOK UP, MY CHILD

Look up, My child, why can't you see
That I'm waiting here for you –
And in your times of dark despair,
I will always see you through?

Look up, My child, I'm really here,
And I hear your every call –
My arms are reaching out for you…
I will never let you fall.

Look up, My child, turn your eyes on Me,
You need have no fear and doubt.
No matter what you say or do,
I will never cast you out.

Look up, My child, I see your need,
And I know your heart's desire –
I want you to know you're My chosen one,
And I will make your words like fire.

Look up, My child, the battle's won –
In your times of trouble and strife,
My loving arms will carry you,
If you will just give Me your life.

So, look up, My child, I love you so –
From your side I'll never depart –
I will fill you with My joy and peace
If you'll just give Me your heart.
