I Only Needed To Pray

In a stormy time, when I felt alone
Your face I couldn’t see
I walked through a valley, so dark and deep
But Lord, You were there with me
I struggled and cried, my hands were tied
“Just when would this trial end?”
In the midst of it all, in weakness I called
On Your Name ~ O Jesus my Friend
You lifted me up when my eyes looked down
At the problems I faced each day
You reminded me, Lord – again and again
I ONLY needed to pray
I only needed to lean on You more
To trust in Your faithful word
To know that this valley was just for a time
To know that my prayers were heard
Although I had done the best I could
My faith was truly tried
Sometimes I felt I’d failed the test
But yet ~ deep down inside
Your mercy and grace propelled me on
Upholding me night and day
Your beams of love kept shining through
I only needed to pray
~
Thank You Jesus!
