God Answers Prayer
My prayer has always been to see you soon
Words are few Thoughts are deep
With memories of childhood past
I searched, I wrote, I called,
and most of all I prayed and
God Answered My Prayer
Little did I know
my time with you would be short
Although it's difficult now,
someday beyond my tears
And all the wrongs of this world
Comfort comes and I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one and I feel God's Grace
