As we walk the down
The path of life
We find some areas aren't
As well lit as others.
And it's within these sections
That our hope seems to fade
As we go through them.
Fears begin to surface
When we can't see
What's in front of us,
Questions of doubt rise
Like tiding waters.
We even believe that
At times it seems
We're journeying alone
During this process.
Such is not the case.
You're never alone.
Regardless of our circumstances
There's always someone to turn to
During times unknown.
You have to humble yourself,
Sometimes we're our own worst enemy
When it comes to asking for help.
But if we set aside our pride
For just a moment, we'll see that
When refuge is sought
Sanctuary can be found
In the arms of uplifters
In the hearts of encouragers
In the presence of peacekeepers
In the bigger picture of the open minded
And in the hands of helpers.
We are woven together like fabric
And are here to lighten the darker
Regions of your path to restore
Your hope and faith
As you move forward.
Our hands extend to you
With acceptance and
Without judgement of any kind.
Whatever your questions may be
Know that we'll do our best
To find an answer for you, honestly.
No one is refused
And all are welcome
To come and go freely.
Forgive us for not properly
Introducing ourselves,
We are the trusted and
The faithful in understanding
We are the ears that listen,
We are the shoulders
That are leaned upon
We are voices of reason
We are your bridge
Over troubled waters
We are your faith in times of fear
We are the ones who have
Nothing to gain by lying to you.
We are your truest friends
And confidants, and
We are here for you,
How can we help?
