CCLI Song No. 4630478 
Key: C 

Refrain 
Stay close to me, just stay close to me 
I will protect you, stay close to me 
Lean on my breast, rest in my arms 
Know you are safe with Me; safe from all harm. 

Verse 1 
I am your Father For sure you can know 
I am telling you now, I will not let you go 
I care for you deeply, I love you, My child 
When it comes to protecting you, I’m not meek or mild 

Verse 2 
I know you are hurting, I understand why 
Let your Father comfort And hold you while you cry 
Be honest with me I want to hear what you say 
Whatever you’re feeling I’ll not turn you away 

Verse 3 
I know you are wounded, Do you know I can heal? 
Will you let me touch Where you are scared to feel? 
I know you’re afraid For your pain is great 
I am gentle and patient For you I will wait 

Ending 
Stay close to Me, 
Just stay close to Me.
