They say God is asleep and can not hear,
He so far away, He cant be near.
But not true is what I say,
Because I know He hears me when I pray.
*****
He may not answer with words aloud,
But my prayers penetrate the cloud.
There is no distance thats too far,
And it doesnt matter where you are.
*****
I may not be able to see Him with my eyes,
But I know my Lord hears my cries.
Hes not so far away,
That He doesnt care about today.
*****
You see my Lord lives in my heart,
And there prayer has to start.
From there He directs my life,
And cares about my struggles and strife.
*****
He asked me to believe what I cant see,
And from there He honors me.
I dont need Him to appear,
Because in my heart, my Lord is near.
*****
My Lord hears me when I pray,
Even though I dont see Him today.
He gave His word to my heart,
And from there is where I start.
*****
His words are clear in my ear.
And thats when my Lord is near.
In my spirit I can see,
That my Lord cares for me.
