Analysis of She Cries, But Does He Anwer?
Tic Toc, says the time clock, but no, no- that’s her heartbeat.
Her heart that beats to the tune of stress & self-defeat.
Going to God again, sure He knows to expect the call…
Though, not feeling the call will bring her the needed resolve.
Digging deeper, almost hitting bottom ground…
She calls to her God & The One who she knows will resolve.
But what if this is His way? What if the prayer she prays doesn’t fit her purpose?
Cried out & not knowing what to say….She goes again, but to Him with His verses.
The Word, The Word - Yes that’s it.
Pulling from the manuscript all she has heard.
When she looks back, she thought she was alone…
No, but no...He was there with her, present from His Throne.
