Thanks Lord for your availability,

You hear my voice when I cry out in need!

In my distress, my grief and misery,

You hold me on my path and on my feet.



You are available  my Lord and God,

Accessible and tender God you are,

Available you are when men are not,

And hear our calls to you from near and far.



And when the stauchest friendship pledge goes sour,

And reassurances  turn empty air,

You are the Rock, the fortress and the tower.

To lean upon and who will always care.



So close at hand, - the Lord hears instantly

Calls coming from behind the Prison bar,

And clamors rising in adversity,

No matter who the anguished callers are.



And He alone, the Lord can understand

When the best friends and kith and kin fall short,

When tribulation is around the bend,

Available  is our Savior Lord!



He hears my cry when my best friend betrays,

And heals the wound with unguent and nard,

His gentle touch all hurt and pain allays,

Sweet Lord, the  searcher of the human heart.



You are available when all have left,

Your presence's strength and sweetness lends support,

As you sustain the lonely and bereft,

You faithful, constant ever loving Lord!



To Him with trust I all my cares betroth,

And lay my sorrows all into His hand

Available - alert in grief and loss,

And comprehends it to the full extent.



I thank you Savior Lord upon my knee

For  all the generous gifts you did bestow,

And thanks for your Availability,

For all your pilgrim children here below.



I thank you Lord for your benignity,

And for your never-failing strong support,

And for your great availability

By day and night and everywhere kind Lord!
