“God will do nothing except in answer to prayer.” John Wesley
His Answer
He lives outside of time in a place where only He can be
Entering in and out of galaxies and space
The universe struggles to contain His breath
The vast expanse of heaven cannot maintain all of Who He is
And it is this One, who is beyond description or contrast,
This One Who heard the prayers
Of those long past
Of those He loved
And who loved His name
He remembered them and offered heaven’s answer
He sent His answer and His answer was you.
He answered them
When you left and embraced the unknown
He answered them
When you struggled to do what was right
He answered them
When you were misunderstood and scorned
He answered them
When the tide began to turn and darkness turned to morn
He answered them each time
When He sent you.
He still lives in the unexplained span of space
Where He is, angels and heavenly beings dare not look on His face
Mankind in his pride peeks through telescopes seeking to explain
The vast expanses of His incredible domain
The natural world collapses under the weight of all of Who He is
And earthly kingdoms dissolve with a wave of His hand
And once again it is this One, beyond description or contrast
This One Who has heard your prayers
For others to know Him just as He had planned
Long before your time has passed
For you, His loved one and delight
He is answering your prayers
For those now standing in the field to work
He is answering your prayers
For struggles yet to take place
He is answering your prayers
For the trials and sufferings waiting in the wings
He is answering your prayers
For new strength to arise, fresh like the spring
He is answering your prayers
For generations yet to be born
And for those who remain even in their wake
He is answering your prayers
Because you have loved His name.
