The Answer

Is there an emptiness inside you that nothing seems to fill?
Are your burdens just as heavy as a stone?
Do past hurts have the power to agonize you still;
Do you feel so abandoned and alone?

Do memories of a hurtful time keep you awake at night?
Are you often haunted by your painful past?
Does life seem dark and dreary and nothing seems just right
And happy thoughts just never seem to last?

Dear Sister, life may sometimes seem so very cruel
When those around us seem so lacking in sweet kindness
Sometimes it seems that no one obeys the Golden Rule
And deepest dark despair too often finds us -

Even closest loved ones seem not to understand
And our cries for help seem never to be heard
Well, there's a great solution if on it we will stand!
"The Answer" is right there in God's own Word!

Yes, dear hurting Sister, the precious Bible tried and true
Is a guide to help you through a troubled life
It's a lamp unto your feet and a comfort to you, too,
When you're burdened with such awful pain and strife!

For there within its pages you'll come to know a man
Who once walked by the sea of Galilee
It still is His desire to take us by the hand.
He can calm our fears and set the captives free!

Just surrender now your heart to the Jesus whom I love
And such precious joy you have not ever known!
For He brings to us the Good News from Our Father up above
And leads us by the hand to God's own throne!

Yes, Jesus is "The Answer" and He now is calling you
He wants to be your everlasting friend
So reach out your hand, dear Sister, and He will see you through.
He'll stay right there beside you until the very end!

His Holy Spirit gifts are love, peace, joy and healing
So reach out and take these precious gift of love
And as the Spirit moves, it soon will be revealing
That you'll have eternal joy in Heaven up above!
