Abby May<\/strong>

Abby May no longer dreams
\nShe thinks nobody ever sees
\nThe way she dies inside
\nAs each day turns to gray
\nShe feels like she is on the outside
\nLooking in
\nIt\u2019s always been this way
\nShe wants to disappear
\nAnd fade away<\/p>\n

Jesus
\nHear my cry
\nHear my prayer
\nJesus
\nI want Abby to know You\u2019re there<\/p>\n

Today Abby decided
\nThe time had come for this to end
\nShe could no longer play
\nShe could no longer bend
\nOn her way the church she\u2019d driven by
\nSo many times before seemed to cry out to her
\nTo come inside and mend<\/p>\n

Jesus (Oh won\u2019t You here my cry)
\nHear my cry
\nHear my prayer
\nJesus (Oh won\u2019t You hear my prayer)
\nI want Abby to know You\u2019re there<\/p>\n

Repeat<\/p>\n

Repeat with prayer sequence<\/p>\n

Abby May began to climb
\nshe felt like she was on a stairway up to heaven
\noh her heart was in her hands
\nShe opened up the doors and walked into a room so full of love and sweet redemption
\nand now she understands<\/p>\n

Bridge
\nShe\u2019s finally free
\nShe says she\u2019s just found something good
\nShe finally sees
\nHealing rain is pouring down
\nThe fear is gone
\nShe\u2019s feeling like she never thought she would
\nShe now belongs
\nTender love is all around<\/p>\n

Jesus
\nYou heard my cry
\nYou heard my prayer
\nJesus
\nI know Abby knows You care
\nOh thank You Jesus
\nYou have heard my cry
\nYou heard my prayer
\nI prayed for Abby
\nNow I pray for Louie
\nJesus Oh won\u2019t You hear my cry
\nNow I pray for Sarah
\nJesus Oh won\u2019t You hear my prayer
\nNow I pray for Joey
\nOh won\u2019t You hear my cry
\nNow I prayer for Katie
\nJesus Oh won\u2019t You hear my prayer
\nNow I pray for Corey
\nNow I pray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
