Somebody Loves You
Somebody loves you more than you know Somebody goes with you wherever you go.
Somebody really and truly cares and lovingly listens to all of your prayers.
Don't doubt for a minute that this is not true.
For God loves His children and takes care of them too... And all of His treasures are yours to share
If you love Him completely and show Him you care... And if you (/Walk in His footsteps" and have the faith to believe,
There's nothing you ask for that you will not receive! - Helen Steiner Rice -
