God, Are You There?

I'm way down here!
You're way up there!
Are You sure You can hear
My faint, faltering prayer?
For I'm so unsure
Of just how to pray
To tell you the truth, God
I don't know what to say...

I just know I am lonely
And vaguely disturbed,
Bewildered and restless,
Confused and perturbed...

And they tell me that prayer
Helps to quiet the mind
And to unburden the heart
For in stillness we find
A newborn assurance
That someone does care
And someone does answer
Each small sincere prayer!

God, Are You Really Real?

I want to believe
I want to be true
I want to be loyal
And faithful to You,

But where can I go
When vague doubts arise
And when evil appears
In an angel's disguise

While clamouring voices
Demand my attention
And the air is polluted
With cries of dissension,

You know, God, it's easy
Just to follow the crowd
Who are "doing their thing"
While shouting out loud

Gross protestations
Against the "old rules"
That limit and hamper
The new freedom schools...

God, answer this prayer
And tell me the truth
Are YOU really the God
Of both Age and Youth?

And, God speak to my heart
So I truly feel
That these "prophets" are false
But YOU REALLY ARE REAL!
