When

When you hear me knock
Open the door.
When you hear the sound of my voice
Follow
When you see my footsteps
step on them.
When you know my love
Love one another
When you know my acts
Teach them.

When you cry
I comfort
When you fall
I carry you
When you walk
my footsteps guide
When you don’t have words
I supply them
When you die
I grant eternal life.
