These times are so troubled
And the world is so confused
This fighting and killing
Even children being abused
So much hatred for one another
That total war is in the news

Running to and fro
They don't know where to go
They're lost and so alone
Even in their home
But I've got news for them
That there is this friend
Who can turn their world around
If they'll only just trust Him

Because He loves us and cares for us
He wants us to be His very own
And He promised that
He'd never leave us alone
Because He loves us and cares for us
He wants us to be His very own
And if we only open up our hearts to Him
We'll never be alone

Now I cry for all the people
Who are hurting deep inside
They must know that there is someone
Who'd longed to brighten up their lives
Running to and fro
They don't know where to go
They're lost and so alone
Even in their home
But I've got news for them
That there is a friend
Who can turn their world around
If they'll only just trust Him

Because He loves us and cares for us
He wants us to be His very own
And He promised that
He'd never leave us alone
Because He loves us and cares for us
(Oh, so much)
He wants us to be His very own
And if we only open up our hearts to Him
We'll never be alone
And if we only open up our hearts to Him
We'll never be alone
(Loves us and cares for us)
