Dear Mr. God

Dear Mr God
I'm writing You today
Because it seems like lately
I've forgotten how to pray
I know I don't need this pen
But everybody llikes to get
A letter now and then
I'm sorry for not writing more

Cause I need You
But it's hard to see
Why someone as big as You
Needs anything from me
I know You're there
So how have you been?
I'm alright but I can't lie
Sometimes I feel like giving in
You're all I've got

Dear Mr. God
Sometimes I wish
You lived next door
So over coffee You could tell me
What You started all this for
I guess you saw
That sunrise yesterday
Thanks for the reminder
That You're never gone away
It gives me hope
Telling You what You already know

Dear Mr. God
Tell me do You ever cry
When we forget to thank You
For the good things in our lives
I know I can't always understand
Why You do the things You do
But I know in the end
I'll make it through
If I stand next to You
So here I am

Dear Mr. God
I'm writing You today
Because it seems like lately
I've forgotten how to pray

Reminded of Your faithfulness

I don't know what this day will bring
Will it be disappointing, or filled with longed for things?
I don't know what tomorrow holds
Still I can trust Your faithfulness

I don't know if these clouds mean rain
If they do, will they pour down blessing or pain?
I don't know what the future holds
Still I can trust in Your faithfulness

Certain as the rivers reach the seas
Certain as the sunrise in the east
I can rest in Your faithfulness
Surer than a mother's tender love
Surer than the stars still shine above
I can rest in Your faithfulness

I don't know how or when I'll die
Will it be a thief, or will I have a chance to say goodbye?
No, I don't know how much time is left
But in the end, I will know Your faithfulness

When darkness overwhelms my soul
When thoughts and storms of doubt
Still I trust You are always faithful, always faithful
