I lay awake in my bed, a small child of five,
I hear the fighting start, under the covers I hide.
The yelling soon gets louder, followed by a scream,
Silently I lay there, for an eternity it seems.
I hear a voice so soft and sweet, don't be afraid my child,
No ones going to hurt you, I am always by your side.
Whenever you are scared, just say my name and pray,
I will protect you always, be it night or day.
Now I am much older, with a family of my own,
I still remember those nights, of feeling so alone.
Many years had passed, until I came to find,
The voice I heard that night, would save me many times.
I guess I always knew, that Jesus was my friend,
So glad am I, I found that out, before the very end.
Now I live a different life, one full of love and grace,
With Jesus by my side, him I could never replace.
