How are you? Really?

I know you can move mountains
If that is what you will
I know you can speak just once

And the storm is calm and still
I know you can bring healing
With just one simple touch
I know your heart's desire
Is much more life for us.

I know that little birds

Are in your tender care

I know I shouldn't worry

About the clothes that I will wear

I know all your abundance

Is cattle on a thousand hills

I know your promises are yes, amen

Bringing heaven closer still

I know that you are trustworthy

I know that you are good

I know that you are faithful, sure

On a rock my faith is built

I trust in you, my faith is strong

Whatever comes I'm ready

The storm clouds gather, lashed to you

I'm certain, strong, and steady

But somewhere deep inside

When I cry to you in prayer

And ask for cancer to be gone

A sorrow buries there

That the answer to my questions

The thing that I want most

While something you can surely do

For reasons unknown, you don't.
