psalm 105:4 — “seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!”
— — — — —
sometimes i want a hand to hold
oh, just a hand
— and a pair of smiling eyes —
with a grip firm, dependable
fingers entwined with mine
but the Hand i hold is stronger
—
sometimes i want a voice to learn
oh, just a voice
— and the words to go along —
with a tone sweet, unshakeable
playing counterpoint to mine
but the Voice i know sings sweeter
—
sometimes i want a love to share
oh, just a love
— and someone to share it with —
with a dance slow, unstoppable
steps for leading mine
but the Love i share runs deeper
—
sometimes i want a face to see
oh, just a face
— and a name to call my own —
with a smile kinder, fiercer
and a laugh to blend with mine
but the Face i see is wilder
and the Love i share runs deeper
and the Voice i know sings sweeter
and the Hand i hold is stronger
