THE ONLY PHONE NUMBER THAT I NEED

Hello God, I had to call tonight,
To talk with you a little while.
I need a friend in you who’ll listen,
To my anxietys, distress and my trials.
You see, I can’t quite cut it,
Through a day just on my own…
I need your love and strength to guide me,
So I’ll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep,
Our lives and our surroundings safe and sound.
Come in to fill their lives with confidence,
For whatever fate they’re bound.

Give me faith, dear God, to go out and face,
Each hour throughout this day,
And not to worry over the many things,
That I can’t control or change any way.

I thank you God for always being home,
And always listening to my call.
And for giving me such good advice,
When I stumble, or even when I fall.

Your number, God, is the only one that I need,
Yours answers each and every time.
I never get a drop call, or a busy signal,
I never have had to pay a dime.

So thanks to you, gracious God, for listening,
To my troubles and sometimes my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You always,
And I’ll call again tomorrow!
