Can You Hear Me, Lord?

By  Jerry Browning

Can you hear me, Lord; how did I come to be?

Can you hear me Lord; is this Your Love I see?

Seems the world you made has turned its back on me.

If you hear me Lord, I’m longing to be free.

Do you love me, Lord; I feel inside you do.

Do you love me, Lord; my heart cries out to you,

In the dark of night, let me see your light shine through,

If you love me Lord, then let me walk with you.

Can you tell me, Lord; all the reasons I am here?

Can you tell me, Lord; what is it others fear?

Why is hate so strong & love so rare and dear?

Will you tell me Lord, for I feel you standing near.

Will you take me Lord; I’m longing to be free.

Will you take me Lord; my soul cries out to thee

For the only love I know you placed in me.

If you won’t take me Lord; why did I come to be?
