Oh gently lay your head Upon my chest And I will comfort you Like a mother while you rest The tide can change so fast, But I will stay The same through the past, The same in future, same today CHORUS: I am constant; I am near I am peace that shatters all your secret fears I am holy; I am wise I'm the only one who knows your heart's desires Your heart's desires Oh weary, tired and worn, Let out your sighs And drop that heavy load you hold Cause Mine is light I know you through and through; There's no need to hide I want to show you love That is deep and high and wide CHORUS(2x) Oh gently lay your head Upon my chest And I will comfort you Like a mother while you rest
