I cry out to You

Hands uplifted in prayer

As I try to trust Your plan

Searching for Your presence here

Begging for the reason why

My heart is broken

Here my life lies broken

And I kneel with it before You

Desperate to know why

I offer tear-choked prayers

But I cannot feel You here

I cannot see Your plan

I know that You have a plan

For Your promises remain unbroken

But as I go through fire here

I find myself unsure of You

Do you really hear my prayers?

The question I always ask is why

Do I need to know why

My sorrow is part of Your plan?

When I come to You with prayers

Asking You to fix what has been broken

I remember I can trust in You

For You are always here

I know that You are here

Perhaps I do not need a why

But to put my faith in You

And trust the goodness of Your plan

Wait for the day you will heal what is broken

And offer up my loving prayers

Today I come to you with prayers

To feel Your sovereign presence here

And though in parts I remain broken

I will wait without knowing why

Until I know the fullness of Your plan

My strength derives from faith in You

You have a plan, even if I know not why

Through prayers, in brokenness I find you here.
