YOU ANSWERED ME

Words and Music by Ken Silva

I look out my window, and I see the grey skies;
I can see it’s raining and it should come as no surprise
Lord, I wandered so far away from You –
I was frightened this time You couldn’t pull me through…

Oh Lord, You allow some pain into our lives;
Only on our knees can we find,
The strength to survive.
That’s when I know only You can set me free –
And even in my sin I called;
And You answered me…

My sweet Lord forgive me, I know that I was wrong;
I thought I was lost but You were with me all along.
I gave my life to You; You said, “Never will I leave” –
Sometimes this cross gets heavy won’t You help me see…

Lord who is man, that You are mindful of him;
We can’t repay the Savior, Who died for all our sin.
Help me share Your Gospel with everyone I know –
And tell of my Jesus, Who’s with me everywhere I go…

Oh Lord, You allow some pain into our lives;
Only on our knees can we find,
The strength to survive.
That’s when I know only You can set me free –
And even in my sin I called;
And You answered me…

You said, “Take up your cross –
Follow Me–I’ll set you free.”
Thank You Jesus; thank You Jesus –
Because You answered me…
