Dale

Lord, as You look down on Dale,

The spirit You have made,

You see a gentle, loving soul

That rests within Your shade.

You guide my steps through every day,

Wherever I may be,

I rest in knowing this one truth:

My Father cares for me.

For Jesus forgives, and His mercy is wide,

A tender companion who walks by my side.

I know that God loves me and takes care of me,

His grace is the anchor, His love sets me free.

You gave me humor, gave me joy,

A laugh to lift the weight,

To be a friend with open arms

Before the narrow gate.

When shadows gather on the path,

I do not walk alone,

The Shepherd watches over my life

And claims me as His own.

For Jesus forgives, and His mercy is wide,

A tender companion who walks by my side.

I know that God loves me and takes care of me,

His grace is the anchor, His love sets me free.

With every breath, His love is shown,

I reap the peace that He has sown.

He washes all my past away,

And holds me gently through the day.

For Jesus forgives, and His mercy is wide,

A tender companion who walks by my side.

I know that God loves me and takes care of me,

His grace is the anchor, His love sets me free.

Yes, Jesus forgives, and He takes care of me.
