Did you hear?

Written when I was trying to listen better, to others and God’s voice.

Did you hear God tell you that He loves you
Did you hear God tell you that He cares
Did you hear God tell you are his child
Did you hear God tell you He will provide for your needs

I tried to listen but my mind was distracted by other things
I tried to comprehend that my God cares, but got overwhelmed
I tried to remember that my Father is watching over me
I tried to trust He will provide for my needs for He is faithful

I wonder why He took my shame
I wonder why He took my guilt
I wonder why He took my pain
I wonder why He chose death to give me life

I can’t thank and praise Him enough
I can’t give anything to my Lord other than my life
I heard the thunder, and I’ve seen the rain and yet I will praise His name
I reached out to Him and He restored my life
