Lord Help Me, Answer My Prayer - Psalm 61: 1,2

Cry to the Lord with a real passion
make sure you mean it by heart
believe in prayer that God hears
for if you don't no point to start

Prayer is a spiritual mystery
how God hears you in heaven
no matter where you're on earth
oh Lord hear me before it's eleven

In one's heart feeling overwhelmed
making loud cries to our heavenly father
knowing the certainty of God's love
makes one assured to come and gather

The psalmist asks to be lead
to a mighty towering rock
where their safety is assured
this is for all of God's flock

Lord help me, answer my prayer
thanks and praise goes to you
for your knowledge that's so divine
blessed be your name everlastingly true

(Psalm 61:1-2 (NLT)

"O God listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety.")
