But I Said to You, Lord

But I said to you Lord, I worry, I fear

And He said to me, daughter, whom I hold dear

Walk in the light, in the truth, in the way

And I’ll keep what you’ve entrusted to Me for that day

But Lord, in despair, in my darkest night hour

I pleaded for Your strength, I begged for Your power

My lamb, He responded, your Healer was there

Your prayers were answered, whom shall you fear?

But Lord, I asked You to please show me the way

Why didn’t You answer? Why the delay?

My dear, said the Lord, first seek my face

My ways are not yours, trust in my pace

I love you, dear child, through all of your strife

I made you by hand, My breath gives you life

I know you better than you know yourself

Would I leave you alone, without hope, without help?

I was there when your cries tore through the night

I gave you comfort, I brought you the light

Are My ears too dull to hear? My eyes blind to see?

I died for your sins, your pain belongs to Me

I love you in sickness, I love you in pain

What you’ve thought that you’ve lost, I know that you’ve gained

To live in this world, full of suffering and grief

I don’t promise it’s easy, but know that it’s brief

There is a place for you, beside My high throne

Don’t feel discouraged, you are never alone

In the heavens on high, full of light full of song

With the heavenly hosts, you will sing along

Songs of glory and songs of praise

In joy and in peace, My anthem you’ll raise

So My child, My dear, daughter of God above

Stand strong in My grace, stand strong in My love

You were brought to this world with purpose, with reason

Your suffering and pain last only a season

I know of your trials before you even cry

But rest assured, when you call- Here am I
