I worked yesterday with Pastor Cindy Yanchury on an advanced lay speaking class. The topic is evangelism. I woke at 4 AM this morning, thinking about the discussion we had about why we had to talk about our relationships with God, not why we could but why we had to. Once you’ve had the opportunity to tell someone your story and you get feedback that you’ve helped change their life, that opportunity to speak becomes an obligation to do so. This song is a direct result of that conversation.
May you feel and recognize God’s movements in your life today and always!

‘God Is The Answer’
Can’t sit quietly, in the background
Another silent Christian, unheard, unknown
I’ve a story, that must be told ’bout
How God has changed me
How much I’ve grown
Other hearts are going through
Valleys I’ve already passed
Addicted to some chemical
Trapped wond’ring how long it will last
It’s a recurring nightmare
Seemingly with no clear way out
I can help them find the exit
Of this I have no doubt
God is the answer,
Just whisper a prayer
The truth is you’ll find out,
God’s always been there
God can’t get any closer
God’s love surrounds your soul
But it’s only when we turn to him
That God can make us whole
Can’t wait patiently, hoping someone
Else will come, how the way out, God put, me here
For a reason, of that I have no doubt
Bringing them God’s word
Helping them hear
Help their hearts find a way through
Valleys I’ve already passed
Overcoming their addiction
Free knowing this pain’s in their past
Life can truly start all over
Amazing wonderful and free
God can help them make this happen
I know it worked for me
God is the answer,
Just whisper a prayer
The truth is you’ll find out,
God’s always been there
God can’t get any closer
God’s love surrounds your soul
But it’s only when we turn to him
That God can make us whole
