QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

What do we do Lord when the force of evil prevails?

What do we do Lord when the dark one assails?

What, when we know not what to do?

What, when we know not why or who?

Answer my cry Oh Lord!

 

Where do I turn when the night turns black?

Where do I turn when my soul feels a distinct lack?

Where, when all the doors have slammed in my face?

Where, when I run and cannot keep pace?

Answer my cry Oh Lord!

 

Who can I trust as the winds of destiny blow?

Who can I trust when my weakness starts to show?

Who, when filled with the darkest despair?

Who, when evil rules the very air ?

Answer my cry Oh Lord!

 

How do I know which path is right?

How, do I know when I am being led by the light?

How, on a road that is fraught with danger?

How, when paths cross with a deceiving stranger?

Answer my cry Oh Lord!

 

 

 

In among the darkest moments I see your light,

Guiding me towards safety, out of the night.

In the valley of death I feel you by my side,

In the shelter of the Most High is where I hide.

Lord I hear you answer my cry!

 

In loneliness I find you my comforter and strength,

In despair, I see you walk with me the road’s length.

Hurting, I feel your arms close around me, holding me close,

Feeling contentment heard of only in poem and prose.

Lord I hear you answer my cry!

 

Blinded by the principles of this world, I seek You,

Shackled by its lies, released only by your worlds so true.

Stumbling, I feel your hand steady me,

Tearing at the ropes that bind, setting me free.

Lord I hear you answer my cry!

 

People you bring into my life with love,

Leading strangers together, united under the almighty love.

In my foolish struggle, your wisdom calms,

Your touch more healing than oils or balm.

Lord I hear you answer my cry!

 

My hand in Yours, I walk confidently towards your glory,

Holding on tight as we approach the climax of my story,

I see in the distance the entrance to your home,

And follow You out of the darkness where I once used to roam.

Lord I hear you answer my cry!
