There lives within my heart
The wish to do my best
To live my life the way I should
And inherit eternal rest
When grief and sorrow come my way
Life seems more than I can bear
Doubt overcomes my weary soul
And I wonder if You're still there
Fear and uncertainty fill my mind
With thoughts I would rather forget
Of sins committed long ago
And things that I regret
When I am weak and sinsick
And in my deepest despair
I fall upon my knees to pray
And I know that You're still there
You promised never to forsake
And I wonder why I still doubt
You gave your Son to save my soul
And have never left me without
Help me to always realize
I am blessed beyond compare
And never again let me inquire,
"Dear God, are you still there?"
