I Know He Heard My Prayer
A couple weeks ago, the girls showed me the devotional for that morning (from their “Streams in the Desert” book). When I read it, I was reminded of a song that has been an encouragement to my heart – you know, one of those songs where you hit the back button to play again…and again…and again… 🙂 I believe I posted the lyrics awhile back, but thought I would share them again with the following devotional. I hope it will be a blessing to someone this evening!
I KNOW HE HEARD MY PRAYER
The clouds have passed away, I see the light of day,
The sun is shining thru, dispelling gloom with hallelujahs;
I know that this is real, for in my heart I feel
that my Saviour heard my earnest prayer.
Chorus
I know He heard my prayer,
He knows my every care,…
He gives to me the blessed victory,
Oh yes ! I feel Him now,
My loyalty I vow,
I know the Saviour heard my plea.
~
The Lord has heard my prayer, great joy is now my share,
Sweet heaven fills my soul, now I can go rejoicing on;
Oh my friend, there’s not a doubt, thank God, they’re driven out,
for He heard my prayer, my earnest prayer.
~
When in the future days, the fiery trials blaze,
When Satan comes to me to take away my victory,
I can point him to the time when Heaven’s light did shine,
I can say He heard my earnest prayer.
The enemy had said that my faith in God was dead,
If the way was rough, He did not care,
Thank God it is not true, Jesus thrills me thru and thru.
I know he heard my prayer, my earnest prayer.
