A hitchhiker's thumb, a speeding car, and a prayer that turns into an answer.

My friend Bob asked me to collaborate on a Contemporary Christian-style piece. I agreed because its premise matters to me: we don't need to beg for Divine intervention; God has already given us all we need to make our lives work. Re-recorded from my 1997 album.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking down a dusty road, my hitcher's thumb is held out high
A speeding car approaches fast, please God, don't pass me by

[Verse 2]
My life is like this lonely path, I'm always so slow, so slow, and I
Never catch the things I need, please God, don't pass me by

[Verse 3]
The longing in me builds and builds, I stretch my arms up to the sky
And find myself in prayer at last, please God, don't pass me by

[Verse 4]
I ask where are the things I need, why do I fail at things I try
Where is the voice I long to heed, please God, don't pass me by

[Chorus]
God's promise is clear and His love is true
We have all we need, it'll all come true
All together we stand, we are one in His eyes
God's promise is clear, He will hear our cry

[Verse 5]
And then a voice within me speaks, a silent sound, a holy sigh
I have within me all I need, God didn't pass me by

[Verse 6]
If I can just remember this, remember that it is no lie
No one but me refuses God's gifts, God will not pass me by

[Chorus]
God's promise is clear and His love is true
We have all we need, it'll all come true
All together we stand, we are one in His eyes
God's promise is clear, He will hear our cries

[Outro]
God's promise is clear and His love is true
We have all we need, all together we stand
God's promise is clear, God's promise is clear
He will hear our cry
