I Call To You

 

So many loved ones struggling, Lord.
I worry, now and then,
That I can’t do more to help out,
Or where I should begin.
 
It doesn’t matter what the cause
That burdens their lives so,
It matters that I can’t free them
From all that brings them low.
 
I know that it is not my place
To fix this world we walk,
But it can truly break my heart
To do no more than talk,
 
Or listen as they talk to me
Of struggles faced each day.
Often it seems all I can do
Is bow my head and pray.
 
Lord, thank you for being right there
Each time I call to You.
There may be nothing I can do,
But nothing’s beyond You.
 
Psalm 17:6-7
I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
