DEAR MR GOD (The Warren Brothers)
Dear Mr God, I’m writing You today
Cause it seems like lately I’ve forgotten how to pray
I know I don’t need this pen
But everybody likes to get a letter now and then
I’m sorry for not writing more
Cause I need you, but it’s hard to see
Why anyone as big as You needs anything from me
You know you’re there, so how have you been
I’m allright, but I can’t lie sometimes I feel like giving in
You’re all I’ve got, Dear Mr God
Sometimes I wished you lived next door
So over coffee you could tell me what you started all this for
i guess you saw that sunrise yesterday
Thanks for the reminder that you have never gone away
It gives me hope, I’m telling you what you already know.
I need you, but it’s hard to see
Why anyone as big as You needs anything from me
I know You’re there, so how have you been
I’m allright but I can’t lie sometimes I feel like giving in.
Dear Mr. God, tell me do you ever cry
When we forget to thank you for the good things in our lives
I know I can’t always understand,
Why you do the things you do
And I know in the end I’ll make it through
If I stand next to You.
So here I am,
Dear Mr. God
I’m writing you today, cause it seems like lately, I’ve forgotten how to pray
Dear God. Thank you for accepting this letter of gratitude to You. I realize that I would be nothing without Your love pouring over my soul. “ I need You, but it’s hard to see why anyone as big as You needs anything from me”. You’re all I’ve got. But You are also all I need. I am complete because You are in my life. Thank you that 30+ years ago you looked down and saw this needy person and lifted me up to Your heart and received me with open arms. I will never forget when You connected with me and my life was totally changed and has went from better to better. This song talks about having coffee with You. I “feel” as though we have coffee together in the early mornings. Forgive me when I don’t sit down long enough to talk and visit with You.
Yesterday, I heard a tragic story from a lady that I greatly admire, a precious woman of God. She opened her heart and talked about the storms that she is going through right now. Listening to her was heart wrenching. While listening to her, I thought about how much I hate the enemy. But more than that I saw the beauty of the Cross and how it is bringing this precious woman through the trial. I could see the Lord all over her, I could see a live example of His love, that even in the storm, she was lifting her eyes toward the Savior and saying, Lord, Save me and my family. I could see in my heart that God is sending angels to her to minister to her. I could relate the depth of her love toward her family to the love that God has for us.
The pain that she was expressing was for adopted children. We are adopted into God’s family. The love that this lady has is only a smidgen of the love that Jesus has for us. He is passionate about us. When we are lost and in jail, I think He cries. I think that God is emotional towards us. His name is Jesus, His name is Jesus. I need a Savior. I need to know that He is concerned in every area of my life, every area. I need to know that He is interceding for me. I need to know that when I pray and pour out my heart to Him, He listens. I need to know that when I pray for folks like my precious sister, He hears my prayers and answers them. I need to know that when the waves are rolling high over my life, he speaks to the waves and storms and says, be still. I need to know that He has all power and he works all things out for our good. I need to know that He accepts me, totally and that I have confidence because of His love for me. Today I am
Having coffee in good company,
Mary Ann
