Stay close.
Even when the waters threaten
To submerge you
And the floods threaten
To squeeze the life out of you
Keep breathing
Stay close.
Even when your prayers
No longer roll off your tongue like butter
And every word seems to be bouncing
Off the walls
Keep speaking
Stay close.
Even when the music no longer moves you
And the songs no longer excite you like
They once did
Keep singing
Stay close.
Even when the promises you once held dear
Seem like they’ll never come to pass
Keep trusting
Stay close.
The faithful God is with You in the fire
Stay close.
The promise of joy is not a lie
Stay close.
Your God will never fail
His word is true and right
Your feelings will never be greater
So stay close
Breathe,
Sing,
Dance
Be.
