Look Above You
REFRAIN:
Oh, will you rest here?
I’ll give my best, dear,
Or will you run away?
Oh, look above you,
You’ll see I love you,
But will you want to stay?
When I bring you to my heart,
Will you be my very own?
Can you give up that kingdom
Now providing you a home?
Or will the newness of me
Be so strange that you flee,
Back to the land that you leave
behind?
REFRAIN
When I teach your heart to sing
Will you learn to laugh and smile?
When we say your bedtime prayers
Will you sleep in peace awhile?
Or will the worries and fears
Of the discontented years,
Keep you from seeking all my love
would unbind?
I’m very different from you
Can you take me as I am?
I know I ask an awful lot for you
to come here,
But try to understand:
Indeed, the very best I can
require,
My love already has supplied;
I will give you all the care that
you desire,
I’ll always love you, I’ll never
leave your side.
REFRAIN
Oh, will you rest here?
I’ll give my best, dear;
You’ll see I love you.
