Cradle me in your warm embrace,
Caress me as I lay,
Let me feel your glowing strength,
And rock my cares away.
Feel the beating of my heart,
As it cries out in pain.
Dry my tears with tender love,
And let me smile again.
Cradle me in your loving arms,
Show me that you care.
Let me see the light of day,
Let me not despair.
Soothe my poor and empty soul,
Fill my spirit full of hope.
Give me strength to see it through,
Give me strength to cope.
Cradle me in your clouds of joy,
Sway me to and fro.
Gently stroke my troubled brow,
Let me feel your glow.
Wash my sins with tears of love,
Guide me on my way.
Take me in your warm embrace,
And rock my cares away.
