Is That You God?

Is that You God
Are you listening
Can You hear me beyond this craze
Is that really You God
Or is this just a phase
I try so hard to hear You
Then doubt comes in and takes away
When I tell You all my problems
But I don’t hear You answer when I pray
I’m listening for any answer
Something to guide me through
Confirmation through Your scriptures
What I am hearing is really You
My heart is heavy laden
Broken and contrite
It’s all too much to handle
I can’t take another night
Send Your Holy Spirit
It’s power do not delay
Guard against every anxious thought I think
And careless words I dare to say
Father teach me how to listen
Discern Your voice when You speak
Obedience is what You long for
And Your pleasure is what I seek

God Can You Help Me

Driving to church one morning
Still debating if she should go
Her life seemed somewhat hopeless
Her faith was running low
She knew the road that she had taken
It was not very good
Finding God was her only chance
To live the way she should
Ashamed of where she had come from
Would they even let her back in
Could she hide behind a smile
Or could they see what lied within


Walking through the santuary
After hearing what that preacher said
Tears welled up with in her
As she saw the alter up ahead
She ran with desperation
She began to make her way
Before her knees crashed to the floor
She began to pray

God can You help me
I’m beggin You please
My life is falling all apart
Where do I begin to start
I know its been awhile
Since I last prayed to You
God can you help me
I need you

I know I don’t deserve this
I chose the path I took
I left behind all you gave
Without turning back to look
I can’t keep going on like this
I need Your strength to get me through
No more doing things my way
I give this all to You

God can you help me
I’m beggin you please
My life is falling all apart
Where do I begin to start
I know its been awhile
Since I last prayed to You
God can you help me
I need you
