He Will Not Refuse

I asked…

when, Lord, when?
when will I understand?
when will my heart say amen?

I asked…

why, Lord, why?
why can’t I see the light?
why does my aching spirit cry?

I asked…

where, Lord, where?
where is the meaning in this life?
where is the faith and hope in prayer?

I asked and He answered me
	hear the gentle in His truth
		His peace as I bow a knee.

I asked and He sent me hope
	when nothing helped my soul,
		His gentle love helped me cope.

I asked and He reminded me
	there are answers in His light,
		mercy healed me so I’m free.

I asked…

and the wind seemed to speak,
a blessing, holy, as I seek
it is His strength when I am weak…

that reminds me, His love is free
	wherever I go, I sincerely believe
		there is One who goes with me –

One who offers me the ultimate gift,
	salvation from the sin that afflicted,
		redemption, so I’m no longer adrift

I live for the One who brought me light
	He is the answer to my darkest night
		He restores and makes everything right.

I asked and He told me to listen
as long as there’s love, He is with me
like the stars, His light will always glisten –

a promise that tells me, whatever ensues
I have a hope that is filled with compassion
I have a Savior and His love will not refuse.

I know the One who changed my soul
He encouraged me to listen to the love
I know His grace has surely made me whole.

So, with faith, I continue on this road
Past the pain and grief, through the shadows
Into the promise of always that bestowed…
Love that comes from the One died and rose.
