MY PRAYER by C McGinnis

I WAS ON MY KNEES ONE DAY IN PRAYER
I PRAYED, "MY GOD, ARE YOU REALLY THERE?"
MY HOPES AND FEARS WERE ON MY MIND
COULD THE ANSWER BE HARD TO FIND
MY PROBLEMS WERE MUCH WORSE TODAY
THAN THEY HAD BEEN IN ANY WAY
WOULD HE LISTEN TO MY PLEA
OR MAYBE TURN AWAY FROM ME

I PRAYED, I DID NOT ASK IN VAIN
MY REQUEST TO QUICKLY TAKE THE PAIN
IN MY HEART FROM ME THIS DAY
AND KEEP MY TROUBLES FAR AWAY
DO I GIVE UP OR KEEP ON TRYING
TO PRAY AND HOPE OR WAS I DYING
WHY TRY, WHAT WOULD PRAYER DO
BUT THEN I STOPPED TO REMEMBER YOU

YOU WERE THE ONE THAT DAY IN PRAYER
YOU PRAYED, "MY GOD, ARE YOU REALLY THERE?"
GOD KNEW WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
TO SAVE THE WORLD HE SENT HIS SON
I WAS THE ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE DIED
INSTEAD YOU CHOSE TO BE CRUCIFIED
YOU SUFFERED THERE IN PAIN SO MAN
COULD LIVE AGAIN TO FULFILL YOUR PLAN

I WAS ON MY KNEES AGAIN IN PRAYER
I PRAYED "MY GOD, ARE YOU STILL THERE?"
FORGIVE ME OF MY FAITHLESS THOUGHT
AND THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE YOU BROUGHT
AND LORD I KNOW YOU WERE THE ONE
WHO GAVE TO US YOUR ONLY SON
TO SET US FREE FROM PAIN AND SIN
SO WE COULD LIVE WITH YOU AGAIN
