God's
Answer
So hard to remember now
just how long that I'd been gone
Was it just one day, one week, a year
or ten-thousand tears
I guess I thought all that time
some great treasure
I would find
money, fame, or world acclaim
and happiness all that would bring
Then one day it came back to me
a place, a hill called Calvary
where a man called Jesus
died for me,
how much he must have cared
I found myself wondering
how can I get back there from here
Would he still remember me
or would he still, even care
Then from somewhere
deep inside of me
I whispered Jesus
It's you I need
Only God himself
could place so much beauty there
I turned around and there stood Jesus
One step from me, he could have touched me
I lowered my head, afraid to look in his eyes
Of what, I might see there
Then with one nailed-scarred hand
He reached out to me
Lifted my head
ever so gently
He spoke my name
and not other sound
will ever again compare
So with all of my strength
that I could gather
I forced myself
our eyes met together
To my surprise
I realized
I saw nothing but God's Love there
There was no condemnation
no accusation,
He still loved me
With no reservation
He said all this time
You didn't know it
but always, I've been right here
But you chose to lead
so I had to follow
I had no other choice
for I had promised OUR Father
that I'd bring you home
And very soon
We would both be there
Come LittleBrother
Let's go home
(An interesting
side note)
God gave me
this song in 2006
about two months
after
He have given
me another song
which ask the
question
“Jesus,
do you remember me”?
As I searched
for a title for this song
“God's
Answer” the only thing I kept hearing
was, God's
Answer over and over
Finally I ask
my Father
how could this
be the title
since these
two words
are not even
found in the lyrics?
His answer
was sweet, short, and simple
as his answers
most often are.
He said, “Because
that's what this song is.
It is my answer
to you to the question ask
in the previous
song, Jesus, do you remember me?
(I just thought
some people might find that interesting.)
