Alone

It matters not the crowd, I am alone,
yet when, Lord, I’m alone, I am with You,
despite the help, I’m always on my own,
yet without You I never am, it’s true.

I can’t escape You, cannot run and hide,
though naked born, with nothing, You were there,
though with my family, still alone inside,
alone, yet never, Lord, without Your care.

I feel alone, and yet You hover near
through all of those who love and care for me,
when I reach out to them, then You are here,
inside and out, my eyes of faith can see.

Never alone in this brief time and place,
let me share, Lord, with them Your love and grace.
