Sky, Freedom, Happiness, Relieved

With troubled heart each day I live and to your ear my cry I give. Bestow your loving grace on me. O God, my Father, Hear my plea! Forty years of wilderness land is all I’ve come to understand. Now for your promised place to see. O God, my Father, Hear my plea! My dreams rest on the Book of Faith. Show them favor for mercy’s sake. Let all these hopes soon come to be. O God, my Father, Hear my plea! Upon my back there is a cross a signature of all the loss. Yet in your love is victory. O God, my Father, Hear my plea! 12/29/19

Thanks Connie. I think Kim wanted more praise of God though.

Let us pray that God our Father hears it also. Thanks for the placement and the challenge of writing a new form.
