Is anyone awake out there?
Can anybody hear?
I sure could use a friend right now
To talk to through my tears.

My back is aching once again
I cannot sleep at all
I took a pain pill hour ago
And I’m afraid I’ll fall

Oh, my God, where are you?
Can you hear my cry?
Why won’t you deliver me?
Why won’t pain subside?

My feet are aching also
It hurts me just to stand
And when I try to walk somewhere
The drop foot seems to land.

The walker helps to get up
And get into my chair
And that is where I sit right now
Not going anywhere

Oh, God, I’m crying out to you
Please heal these pains of mine
I need to know you hear me now
I need you at this time

I will lift my voice in praise
To you, my precious Lord
For you have done so much for me
A fact I can’t ignore

I thank you for your mercy
And I ask you now for more
But even if you leave me here
I’ll worship you, my Lord

I lift your name up high right now
Your glory I proclaim
Your worthy of my worship Lord
Even if my pain remains.
