I Need to Know

God I need to know that You’re listening – 

I need to know that You hear me

God I need to know that You care about me – 

I need to know You still love me

God I need to know You’re really there – 

I need to know You’re here for me

God I need to know that I have a prayer – 

Do I even have a prayer, really?

Because I’m feeling lost and alone in this life; I’m jaded and torn and it cuts like a knife

I’m so dazed and confused and don’t know what to do.  It may be of no use, but I’m cryin’ to You.

God I need to know that You’re listening – 

I need to know that You hear me

God I need to know that You care about me – 

I need to know You still love me

God I need to know You’re really there – 

I need to know You’re here for me

God I need to know that I have a prayer – 

Do I even have a prayer, really? 

I don’t know for sure, but tonight I’ve been told: when my life is a blur, You’re a hand I can hold. And when darkness consumes me in my midnight hour, I can cease struggling and rely on Your power.

But I need to know that You’re listening – 

I need to know that You hear me

I need to know that You care about me – 

I need to know You still love me

I need to know You’re really there – 

I need to know You’re here for me

I need to know that I have a prayer – 

Do I even have a prayer, really?

When I need You, will You be here for me? How can I know You when I can’t see why I’m still consumed in my misery, if You’ve promised to deliver me? How can I know You’re listening? How can I know You care about me? How can I know You’re even there? How can I know I have a prayer?

I don’t care if You’re fast or slow. I don’t care which way You go. I don’t even care it’s yes or no, but God, (Oh God) please God, I need to know. But God, (Oh God) please God, I need to know.
