Walking Beside Him

by Eve Westfield

“I dreamed he let me walk beside Him

My heart full of anguish and pain

I told him I was so very lonely

He said ‘You’ll never be lonely again’

For you are walking here beside me

And I’m your true forgiving friend

Whenever you are sad and lonely

And your heart so full of pain

Just reach out and walk beside me

And you’ll never be lonely again”
