Just A Call Away

Lord, you know what's on my mind today
please help me make it through
I won't turn to just anyone
I'll only turn towards you.

You've done so many things before
I cannot name them all
and you were always waiting there
even before I'd place my call.

And when my call reaches you
almost instantly I feel better
I'm so glad I can call on you
cause it would take twice as long through a letter.

I can't call on you by boat or plane
even the US mail couldn't get it there
because nothing beats the service of a good old fashioned prayer.

I can't send it special delivery
and you can't collect it COD
it can't be sent Federal Express
I want to take it to you personally.

Lord, please get ready for my call
I'm starting on my way
I can't get there over night
but I'm getting closer everyday.

Psalm 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness, thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress, have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
