I Can Hear Your Response © 2008, Steph Gutmann When I’m sat in a pit When I’m all on my own And no-one’s around me - From where comes my help My help comes from You My Lord, My God, My Saviour The maker of heaven and earth My help comes from You Redeemer, Shalom, My provider My help is in the name of the Lord The name I can call upon Sometimes I can barely whisper In my hour of need “Jesus, My Lord I need You” Yet His response resounds So loud around the heavens “My Child I am here I am with you.” But in the cold And the darkness When there is nothing to see And no sound in the silence Can be heard When I whisper Your name Not even sure if You’ve heard Not even sure if You still see me Then You come And You shine Your light In the darkest place that I lay Your Word and Your truths Show me the way I will rise to my feet I will stand and be strong Secure that I know You are with me And You’ll carry me through When I learn to trust You And when I whisper Your name “Jesus I need You” In the stillness I now hear “My child I am here I am and will be Forever with you” In the beat of my heart I can hear Your response “My child I am here I am with you” In the quiet of my spirit I can hear Your response “My child I am here I am with you” In a comforting word I can hear Your response “My child I am here I am with you” In the warmth of a hug I can hear Your response “My child I am here I am with you” In the morning when I wake I can hear Your response “My child I am here I am with you” When I make it… to the end of the day I can hear Your response “My child I am here I am with you” In the quiet of the night If I listen And don’t hide And I turn to You Letting go of my pride When I lift up my eyes And look to the heavens And talk to You first When I’m full of fear and doubt I will hear You respond With a heart full of love: “My child I am here I am with you I will never leave you No matter what you do I will never forsake you No matter how far you go I am with You forever No matter what But My child Stop hurting yourself You are breaking my heart Stop trying to be strong In your weakest moment Because I will uphold you If you only hold onto Me My child I am here I love you I am with you.” |
