Lord Can You Hear Me

Lord can you hear me; Lord can you see the weight of my soul?

I try Lord; I really do, but all these trials have brought me so low.

Please forgive me Lord for I truly know that of my burdens you hear and see.

It’s just me oh Lord, I’m so tired; I am forlorn and I am so very weak.

I know that of your love which spreads the light of hope upon my face.

I know that I know that I am nothing except by your mercy and grace.

Yet even still in this oh Lord I feel like a stranger in an even stranger land.

So whisper to me my God; talk to me in the quiet of my heart that I may stand.

For the trials of these my days; the constant battles that seems to always rage,

This oh lord comes my plea; share with me thy word that I may truly be free.

So many are the days now oh Lord that I have offered up my helpless plea.

I cried tears of a broken heart when my wife was told its cancer; I wept in sorrows need.

Yet now another blow that has taken more from my already heavy heart.

Our precious cat China who keeps my wife company vanished last night in the dark.

God I know you and you know me; I only ask with a humble heart that you meet my need.

Oh God I know that that I know that you can do all things.

You made this world of wonderment in things seen and unseen.

Some may scoff and say look at you and YOU believe.

But God, your wisdom is more than mere man can perceive.

Help me tonight Lord…help me this day.

I feel I have taken all I can take that has come my way.

You do hear me Lord….I know you do.
