I've been Ill for Several Days with a Bad Cold or Flu, and Last Night as I Tossed and Turned with Alternating Chills and Sweats, I Remembered a Song I Used to Love, and Playing it in my Mind Brought me Great Comfort. It Encapsulates So Well my Own Feelings for my Papa-Father, and how my Own Daddy Left Home when my Parents Divorced. I'm Going to Type it from Memory, So it May Bless Someone Else.
Lord, I Need You to Hold me,
Like my Daddy Never could.
Lord, I Need You to Talk to me;
Resting in Your Arms can be So Good.
Hold me, Hold me, Father;
Never Let me Go!
Hold me Tight,
Hold me Closer still.
You've Been Only Kind to me,
And in Your Arms
Is where I Want to Be.
Father, I Need You to Walk with me;
Hand in Hand, we'll Run and Play.
I Need You to Talk with me;
Tell me Again, You'll Stay.
Hold me, Hold me, Father,
Never Let me Go;
Hold me Tight;
Hold me Closer still.
You've been Only Kind to me,
And in Your Arms
Is where I Need to be.
Oh, Hold me, Hold me, Father,
Never Let me Go;
Hold me Tight;
Hold me Closer still.
You've been Only Kind to me,
And in Your Arms
Is where I Need to be.
I Need You to Hold me.
With Tears my Heart Loves and Praises You, my King! Thank You for Caring for me, my Lord of Limitless Grace! Thank You for 'Strengthening me upon the Bed of Languishing: for Making my Bed in my Sickness.' (Ps.41:3) Please Grant Continuous Good Health to my Brothers and Sisters, my Loving King. Please Grant Speedy Healing to Any who are Sick.
I Love You, Papa-Father, Praying Thankfully in Jesus' Name, amen.

It is my Good Friday meditation
