Are You There

Lord I can't here you,
are you really there?
I've prayed and prayed to you,
can't find you anywhere.
I'm standing here waiting,
for a long time it seems.
Don't here an answer praying,
what does it all mean.

Chorus
Lord are you there?
I need to hear anew.
Do you really care?
I long to hear from you.

Not hearing from you anymore,
my heart broken not knowing why.
Sitting here staring out the door,
my eyes misty about to cry.
The bible says he'll not leave you,
wondering why I don't hear.
I begin to ask is it really true,
it's more than I can bear.

Chorus
Lord are you there?
I need to hear anew.
Do you really care?
I long to hear from you.

On my knees praying what do I do,
I hear a small voice loud and clear.
The voice said I did not leave you,
you didn't take time to hear.
My hearts filling with joy and love,
I praise him through my tears.
His word is coming from above,
it's calming all my fears.

Chorus
Lord you are there!
I'm hearing you anew.
You do really care!
I'm glad to hear from you.
