God Sees; Hears; and Acts

God, do You see me when I fall?

When fear like water fills it all?

When breath runs thin and hope runs dry,

Do You still hear my desperate cry?

I slipped beneath that river’s pull,

Cold hands of death, the silence full,

I prayed Your words, then something gave,

A fir tree caught me from the grave.

Another time, St. Mary’s flow,

Was pulling me where none can go,

I choked on life, then spoke Your name,

A boat appeared—You came the same.

I wandered lost with no clear way,

No sun to guide, no light of day,

I whispered prayers into the gray,

Then heard a car—I found my way.

A bear stood close, no path to flee,

Its shadow fell too near to me,

I prayed in fear, then help drew near,

My dog appeared—You sent him here.

(Bridge)

I don’t know how, I don’t know why,

You reached for me each desperate time,

When I was sure it was the end,

You sent a way, You sent a friend.

Through raging waves and forest night,

You were my hope, You were my light,

What felt like chance, I now can see,

Was always You protecting me.

(Chorus)

God, You saw me in the deep,

When I was sinking, losing sleep,

You made a way I couldn’t see,

Your unseen hand was rescuing me.

God, You hear me when I pray,

Even when I’ve lost my way,

In every storm, in all I face,

I’m still alive because of grace.
