A Father who hears

When I am sick, He is a healer, when alone, He is a friend,

When I am lost, He is a shepherd, on Him I can depend.

When I am weak, He is a tower, when scared, He is a shield,

When I have strayed He is my guide, His love to me revealed.

His mercy has no end, humbled before Him I stand,

Forgiveness He freely gives, for He holds me in His hand.

At times when I feel that my enemies are too strong,

I think of Yahweh Almighty, the one who does no wrong.

He folds me in His arms, His protection I can feel,

Awed by His loving care, in prayer before Him kneel.

He hears my every word, His blessing I implore,

My love to Him I give, my soul I do outpour.

Nothing can divide the Father’s love from me,

He has promised me a life, from sin I will be free.

I’m longing for this day, with tears, my vision blurred,

With comfort in my heart, knowing each prayer I give is heard.
