If I Awake

If i awake and you are not beside me,

will you promise to stay close by?

If I call out to you in the darkness,

will you hear and answer my cry?

If i fall on the path we are taking,

will you help me back on my feet?

If i ask for a cup of cold water,

will you pour me one sparkling and sweet?

If i weep whenever i am hurting,

will you kiss the hurting away?

And when we enter the house of God,

will you kneel down and pray with me?

Oh my love don't you see how i need you?

When its time to turn out the light,

will you promise to lie here beside me,

and hold me all through the night?
