Ease up my
child the battle is not yours,
The battle
belongs to Jesus Christ and it's you that He adores.
He will protect
and comfort you as you go forth to fight,
And He'll
make sure that in spite of you things will turn out right.
Ease up my
child though you're feeling all alone,
The Lord is
by your side giving access to God's throne.
He'll take
your fear and turn it into trust,
And if your
outlook's wrong that too He will adjust.
Ease up my
child your future is secure,
God will take
your wicked heart and make it completely pure.
Christ did
not leave you comfortless but sent His Spirit here,
To be your
guide and leader and you'll find He's always near.
Ease up my
child for heaven is your home,
Someday you'll
get to go there and over streets of gold you'll roam.
You'll meet
our blessed Savior and those who've gone before,
And sickness,
sin and sorrow won't be heard of any more.
Ease up my
child and let your heart rejoice,
Think of all
you gained when you made Christ your choice.
He's now your
companion, your advisor and friend,
And He's given
you abundant life that will never end.
