Lord I need to feel your touch

That alone will soothe my soul

I need to place my hand in yours

You know this life can take its toll

Abba I need a hug from you

In your sheltering arms I would hide

To feel your arms around my heart

As you take me to your side

To find that holy place of rest

To feel the warmth of your embrace

To place my head upon God’s breast

And rest there in that secret place

Hold me close to your heart

So I can feel it beat

Hear its rhythm join with mine

And I am made complete.
