There You Are

THERE YOU ARE

"There you are" is what He will say. 

When he finds the lamb that has gone astray. 

As we feel the pressure of sadness and pain

Thinking in life we have nothing to gain. 

We wander off Into the unknown

Making choices that lead us farther from home. 

Be it drugs, gambling or some sexual sin. 

Be it robbery and violence done again and again.

When He finally finds us in that dark place

He simply holds us in His warm embrace. 

"There you are" are the words we will hear. 

As His recognition of us is all too clear. 

God the father of all of mankind. 

Never gives up or loses sight. 

He remembers us as He created us to be

"There you are" are his words to you and to me. 

"There you are" he says redeeming each lost soul

As His love begins to heal us and make us whole

His love is like nothing we can understand 

Because it comes from heaven and God's loving hand. 

You see He is seeking each lost lamb

And will never stop till they are in his hand

And when he finds you, with joyous love and affection

He'll exclaim “There you are” as he enfolds you in His arms of protection.
