Treading Water

Little girl, I watch you struggle
Trying to keep your head above water
Lifeline after lifeline lay by
But you can't seem to grab hold.

It's as though the dark waters
Are fighting for your soul.
Hold on, dear one--tread water.

The greatest Lifeline of all is waiting--
Just cling to Him and float--
Find the Joy and fullness of life
That only He can bring.

Stop struggling, my daughter.
Let Him carry you.
Let Him hold you high above the threatening tide.
Just say "yes"--He waits

and waits
Patiently waits.
Just leave the water behind and FLY.
