My Lord Cares For Me by Gary R. Ferris
They say God is asleep and can not hear,

He so far away, He can’t be near.

But not true is what I say,

Because I know He hears me when I pray.
*****
He may not answer with words aloud,

But my prayers penetrate the cloud.

There is no distance that’s too far,

And it doesn’t matter where you are.
*****
I may not be able to see Him with my eyes,

But I know my Lord hears my cries.

He’s not so far away,

That He doesn’t care about today.
*****
You see my Lord lives in my heart,

And there prayer has to start.

From there He directs my life,

And cares about my struggles and strife.
*****


He asked me to believe what I can’t see,

And from there He honors me.

I don’t need Him to appear,

Because in my heart, my Lord is near.
*****
My Lord hears me when I pray,

Even though I don’t see Him today.

He gave His word to my heart,

And from there is where I start.
*****
His words are clear in my ear.

And that’s when my Lord is near.

In my spirit I can see,

That my Lord cares for me.
