by Kenzie Tenpas

The child lost and full of fright
Wanders into the desert searing away her joy
Rescued by her King of goodness and light.

Her King renews her joy with songs of delight
She loves His song yet finds herself coy.
The child lost and full of fright 

Drifts into a sea of treacherous might
Afraid to drown in the storm without a buoy 
Rescued by her King of goodness and light.

Her King embraces her with delight
Yet she remains ashamed and guilty of joy.
The child lost and full of fright

Stumbles into a cave, an endless night
Never more alone and her hope destroyed
Rescued by her King of goodness and light

He promises to always be her shining Knight
And fill her with hope for He enjoys
The child lost and full of fright 
Rescued by her King of goodness and light.
