Oh Lord Can You Hear Me

I close my eyes and begin to pray, Dear Lord, why is life so tough?
Oh Lord please forgive me, this pain is too much I don’t have much strength left.
For you have not failed me any time before so why do it now or is this your great plan?
Oh Lord can you hear me when I call out your name?

I need you right now for this life has gotten harder, sometimes I just want to let go.
I search for the answers that I may never know and I reach for the sky in hopes of your touch.
I pray you will help me with each very step and I pray my hand you hold within yours.
Oh Lord can you hear me when I call out your name?

I need all your guidance and I’m sure you understand I need help to get through this.
Sometimes I feel like this life should end but I have two children who need me much more.
I feel the wind blow as if you’re walking by I smell a sweet scent like you’re right by my side.
Oh Lord did you hear me when I called out your name?
