Would You Believe Me When I Said

Would you believe me when I said,
When I asked for help, God gave me you?
My past was all lonely,
My life, a hectic zoo.
	Would you believe me when I said,
When I requested a miracle, you came in my life?
I cried out to God,
That I was tired of these heartaches and strife.
	Would you believe me when I said,
That I begged God for a friend?
And who else but you,
Would our God send?
	Would you believe me when I said,
That when I was tired of living,
God sent me you,
To tell me to keep believing?
	Would you believe me when I said,
That when I cried out for a mother,
He sent me you?
You’re better than a brother.
	Would you believe me when I said,
That when I lost all my hope,
God sent me you?
I’m glad you didn’t tell Him “Nope!”
	Would you believe me when I said,
That I couldn’t ask for anything more?
When He closed that window,
He opened this door.
	I’m so glad,
That God sent me you,
Mrs. Doris, I hope you believe me,
Because all this is true.
