When your heart it full of worry
And you don’t know where to turn,
It’s been a while since you have prayed
And for some peace you yearn,
It matters not how long it’s been
Since you have talked to Him.
His door’s always open;
He wants you to come in.

He’s happy just to hear your voice,
No matter what you need.
You’re ever always welcome.
He wants you to succeed.
So lay your cares upon Him
And tell Him everything.
Be honest, sure and steadfast.
There’s nothing you can’t bring.

He’s willing and He’s able
To free your very soul.
Don’t ever feel unworthy,
To help you is His goal.
Remember that He loves you.
He’ll help you find that peace.
No matter what is troubling you,
He’s there to bring relief.

So if this sounds familiar,
Please come to Him in prayer
And you will find your answers,
For He is always there.
He’ll take the things that bother you,
Replace them with His love.
And next time, you won’t have to wait
To bring them up above.
