You Are The God Who Hears - Stephen Cates

1. You Are the God Who Hears

From a Brother in Maine; this song always draws me closer to the object of my faith, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am also reminded of Abraham's conversation with God about the disposition of any 'righteous people' who would perish when Sodom was destroyed. (see Genesis 18)

Even though Lot's name was not brought up specifically in the discussion, God heard him and understood his heart:

"So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cites where Lot had lived." Genesis 19:29 (NIV)
