Oh, Father of Jesus

Hold me now, oh father of Jesus
Sheltered safe, I sleep in your arms
No other place can promise protection
A fortress from pain and a haven from harm

Hold me now, oh Father of Jesus
Sometimes I fear the dark of the night
Your kindness kindles the stars in the heavens
Your love is the reason the moon gives us light

Just you and I and one holy moment together
If I have eyes that can see
Open my ears that I might hear you whisper
Of your tender longing for me

Now I know, oh Father of Jesus
My hope lies in belonging to you
Never again will I live like a stranger
My heart understands now
That you're my father too
