Come, Let Us Reason Together
Father help me to talk to you Help me to pray I have so many fears and troubles But I don't know what to say
"What do you need my child? Go with me on a walk I'll be right beside you As I listen to you talk"
We walked through the forests We walked the distant land A weight was lifted off of me As the Lord took my hand
"My soul is troubled Father" I heard myself say "Sometimes it feels like
You don't hear me when I pray
They say the Christian life Is meant to be shared with others So why am I by myself? Where are my Christian brothers?
Is it the tattoos that I have? Is it the hair that's on my head? Is it the fact that I am poor And have only a bed to lay my head?"
I looked over at Jesus Who was intently listening But in his beautiful eye A lone tear was glistening
"Is it because of my past life? Because of my addictions? Because sometimes it seems They see only afflictions
Am I a seed that has grown Out of the rocks? Springing up quickly But dead when sin knocks?
What am I doing wrong Lord? Is there something I can't see? Am I meant to walk alone? Am I not who you want me to be?"
We walked through the valleys We walked stride for stride Nothing could replace the feeling Of Jesus by my side
We climbed a lone tall mountain And found a rock to rest I sat next to my Father As I cried upon his chest
We sat there for awhile When I noticed a breeze The leaves bristled below us As it blew through the trees
"You know that I control this wind It is I who sets things in motion From the smallest snow flake To the great waves in the ocean
I watch my sheep carefully And you are part of my flock But if you were around the others Would we be talking on this rock?
It pains me to see you hurt I could place friends to surround you But would you be as close to me If there were others around you?
I know you feel alone sometimes But this couldn't be further from the truth Look at the valleys below us There you will find your proof
Do you see the tallest tree in the middle? How it looks all alone? It felt like you did once But look how mighty it has grown!
I placed it by itself So it could grow without distraction When it needs taken care of It is I alone who come into action
It isnt through the others leaves That this grand tree gets it's water and Sun It's I alone who provide it And look at how strong it's roots run
This tree knows me like no other It calls out to me by name I was the one who planted it I alone nursed it when it was lame
I know it's hard to live your life Without the comfort of the others But that's when I'm nearest to you And I am closer than a brother"
I looked up at Jesus knowing That his presence took away my pain I felt the greatest comfort knowing What was loss was actually gain
"My child, my precious precious son You're by yourself but you're never alone I planted you and care for you there Because I want you for my own"
