																						Step back, My child, and let Him lead the way 
																								Whom I have sent to you. He holds your hand 
																								And speaks to you of Me. His memory 
																								Holds in your mind My Name. His peace surrounds 
																								My child with all the love a Father feels 
																								For what He cherishes above all else 
																								In earth and Heaven. Whom I sent to you 
																								Has shared My Heart and brings My Word with Him 
																								To solace and to comfort all the world 
																								That has forgot My Name. Homeless are they 
																								Who would abide alone, apart from Me. 
																								Yet would I call them home. My Voice I send 
																								To sing in soundless places. Hear from Me 
																								The song a Father sings to you, His child; 
																								A melody from far beyond he world, 
																								Step back and listen, for He comes to bless 
																								And tell you that you are not comfortless.
