Encountering the One True King

I cried out but heard nothing
I fell to my knees
I was sobbing
I asked for one simple thing
But in return received nothing.
Who was this God who left me suffering?
I want to believe
I really do
But things keep happening
I haven’t got a clue.
So many answers I wish I had
So many times I felt bad
But still there was something
In the back of my head
Something that kept me wondering
Who I really am.
Many nights I cried out to God
I asked him to show me
What  I had longed for in the past.
He answered in the middle of the night
With a whisper that sent me a chill of delight
“Child you don’t have to be afraid
I’ve always been here
But you’ve doubted me
I’ve been so near
Continue to lean on me
And you will see
That the pain you hold inside
Has all been taken onto me.
You’re free, of everything you’ve carried
All this weight held down
It’s gone it’s over
Be blessed be loved
Go and be
A servant to me.”
When I awoke I was crying
Tears of joy
A happiness I had never encountered before
And now looking on my life
I see how much is really in store
And I want so much more.
He works in mysterious ways
He changes lives
And here tonight
He changed mine.
I trust in his will 
He is greater than me
For when you give it all to God
You receive the greatest victory.
