Christ is the answer – v4

Our prayers to heaven are
the same as our parents;
A river of blood,
the sins of the ages,
weighing on our hearts.

Christ was the answer
to a people’s fervent prayer;
A promise fulfilled
from scripture, from prophecy,
a people restored.

Christ is the answer
to the prayers of the people;
Our hope is in our Savior
the one way to salvation,
God’s gift of love.

Christ will be the answer
forever, eternal,
to all of our problems;
Christ is our hope for tomorrow,
to our strife, our trials,
the answer to all of our prayers.
