Lyrics:
to My gentle searching eyes
there have been no disguises
nothing that you have done that you can hide
I've seen you in your darkest sin
I know the pain and guilt within
know the question on your mind
am I worth saving anyway
I see you child for who you are
I know that sin has left its ugly scars
but I know who you were meant to be
and My love will set you free

so come weary child ~ rest beside Me for awhile
I know your care, all the burdens that you bear
abide in My love, hide in my love
don't push Me away, ashamed and afraid
I know who you are ~ and I love you anyway my child

so bring Me all your wants and needs
I promise they can't burden Me
your most desperate one cannot exceed My care for you
and bring Me all your doubts and fears
the hurt you haven't faced in years
the wounded heart you've stuffed inside
the tears you've tried so hard to hide

so come weary child ~ rest beside Me for awhile
I know your care, all the burdens that you bear
abide in My love, hide in my love
don't push Me away, ashamed and afraid
I know who you are ~ and I love you anyway my child

so come to Me just the way you are
though you've fallen hard and wandered far
stop tryin' to be so brave so strong
it's ok to cry child ~ tears aren't wrong

so come weary child ~ rest beside Me for awhile
I know your care, all the burdens that you bear
abide in My love, hide in my love
don't push Me away, ashamed and afraid
I know who you are ~ and I love you anyway my child
yes I'll love you always my child
