- You Heard and Answered My Cry -

A short time ago, my faith was not so strong I just lived my life as well as I could As time passed, it seemed as if I had less strength And not enough faith to face the storms in my life In trying to hold on, I realized I needed to cry out To You, Heavenly Father, for more strength from above I am so thankful You reached out to me with Your loving arms And helped me work through my storms As you held my hand, You guided me You helped me smile through the darkness and the pain Though there are many tears, my faith in You is growing stronger every day As You make known to me Your will I am weak, but You are strong And I know with all my heart that You care for me The storms may be rough, but I know they’re for my own good That is how I grow I will face many more storms in my life But, oh, how I long to feel the joy and peace from above I want to feel the very presence of my Heavenly Father As You work in me, I wouldn’t have it any other way Thank You, Heavenly Father For being more than I need to face the storms in my life Thank You for caring so much for me Ema Leora McKinley
