God Are You There?

GOD, ARE YOU THERE?

I'M WAY DOWN HERE!
YOU'RE WAY UP THERE!
ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN HEAR
MY FAINT, FALTERING PRAYER?
FOR I'M SO UNSURE
OF JUST HOW TO PRAY-
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, GOD,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I JUST KNOW I AM LONELY
AND VAGUELY DISTURBED,
BEWILDERED AND RESTLESS
CONFUSED AND PERTURBED...
AND THEY TELL ME THAT PRAYER
HELPS TO QUIET THE MIND
AND TO UNBURDEN THE HEART
FOR IN STILLNESS WE FIND
A NEWBORN ASSURANCE
THAT SOMEONE DOES CARE
AND SOMEONE DOES ANSWER
EACH SMALL, SINCERE PRAYER!

"OUR FATHER WHOM WE SERVE IS ABLE
TO DELIVER US FROM THE BURNING FIERY
FURNACE, AND HE WILL DELIVER US FROM
YOUR HAND, O KING. BUT IF NOT, LET IT BE
KNOWN TO YOU, O KING, THAT WE DO NOT
SERVE YOUR GODS, NOR WILL WE WORSHIP
THE GOLD IMAGE WHICH YOU HAVE SET UP."
