Answers Of This World 2000

Lord, we earnestly pray for one that's ill,
pleading for the outcome as is your will.
What harm has struck our fellow man,
causes concern for this one's earthly plan.

We pray that his struggles for life are not vain,
and selfishly pray he be restored to us again.
His departure would much sorrow bring,
his Godly praises we continuously sing.

We know that the final decision is yours alone,
we still pray that this one return to his earthly home,
we entreat that this not be his appointed time,
knowing the hardship faced by those left behind.

Lord that holds the sparrow in flight,
hear our prayer of agony tonight.
Restore this sick and dying soul,
as we submit to all things under your control.

Whatever your answer, we follow Thee,
for where else would we desire to be?
The answers of this world more questions divide,
drawing us into your presence where we long to abide.
                              ***
Psalm 68:19-20  "Blessed be the Lord, who daily
bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is
a God of salvation; and to God, the Lord, belongs
escape from death."
