He Answered Me

He answered me when I was sinking fast in
my despair. He heard my pleading prayer.

He answered me when no one else would hear;
he wiped away all the pity filled tears.

He answered me and kissed my cheek, dear
child find peace in me and go to sleep.

O almighty Father now I'm free! O Lord of
all thank you for taking the time to answer me.
