Before I Call

Before they call I will answer;

while they are yet speaking I will hear.

Isaiah 65:24

When my spirit is weary

feels like I have faced it all

God knows my burden

even before I call

He sees my trouble

He knows my need

He longs to deliver

from sin and sorrow freed

I am struggling

even to begin to pray

and His Spirit is interceding

with words I cannot say

He speaks when I can’t

silence is broken above

as He clears my confusion

with God’s unfailing love

Before I call

I am already heard

Before I pray

God answers with His Word

While I am waiting

His work is alive

When I am failing, falling

He is making me thrive

Words are flailing

faithful is His power

I feel forgotten

He is yet in this hour

Always ready

Jesus is here

Always answering

my unvoiced prayer

Jesus, I love You

my faithful friend

You will hear and care

bringing a joy-filled end
