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.
