Cherish You

As Daddy fades into the sky their faces fill up with delight At just the thought of all he’ll bring when he returns Little toys and trinkets chosen with each one in mind He’ll pull out of his suitcase as soon as their cries he discerns He’s waiting for the moment, he’s been dreaming of the day When they’d reach for his face, forget his hand and say to him All I want is to Gaze into your eyes As I sit at your wounded feet and Rest my head upon your lap Let my worries fall beneath, fall beneath Lay down by your side Watch my worries roll on by Just cherish your presence I only want to cherish you This scenario reminds me of another one who’s gone away His servants awaiting lavish crowns When our Lord returns to seize us for the Kingdom We’ll know just who we’ve become, self-indulgence will astound Sometimes I’m just like the kids I seek your blessings and your gifts When what I should be seeking is the Blesser, the Giver, and Gaze into Your eyes As I sit at Your wounded feet and Rest my head upon Your lap Let my worries fall beneath, fall beneath Lay down by Your side Watch my worries roll on by Just cherish Your presence I only want to cherish You Gifts of knowledge, gifts of Heaven Gifts of the Spirit pale in comparison to my desire to Gaze into Your eyes As I sit at Your wounded feet and Rest my head upon Your lap Let my worries fall beneath, fall beneath Lay down by Your side Watch my worries roll on by Just cherish Your presence I only want to cherish You Cherish, oh, cherish You Cherish You
