Just a Whisper--By Helen Dowd--Canada

Just a Whisper

Based on Mathew 11:28-30                                 

When you're feeling sad and lonely, and you're ready to despair,
And you think that those around you do not care;
When your health is gone, your money too, and life seems so unfair,
Take your problems to the Lord, and with Him share.

But your soul is dry and thirsty, and you feel too faint to pray,
And the devil tells you God is far away,
It is then you need assurance: go to Him without delay.
Just a whispered plea is all you need convey.

What you say is not important; of your cry God is aware.
He is more than willing for your load to bear.
He'll be standing by and waiting: He can hear you anywhere.
Be assured that God is listening for your prayer.

Jesus Christ, the Lord is bidding, "Come. On Me your burdens lay;
Then the worries of your life shall little weigh.
If you rest on Me, your Savior, I will take your cares away.
I am holding out My hands to you today."
