	First song I wrote when I moved away to college. "Sitting alone up in my empty room..." wondering if "God will hear my cry". This is a song for all of us who may feel alone, away from home, orphaned. It holds a message of hope that we will "never be alone".

	Story Behind the Song This was the first song I wrote when I moved away to college. "Sitting alone up in my empty room..." wondering if "God will hear my cry". This is a song for all of us who may feel alone, away from home, orphaned. It holds a message of hope that we will "never be alone". This song seems to stand the test of time, and remains a favorite of all who have shared in listening to the music I have been given. I hope it ministers to you as well. Taken from passages including: Isaiah 41:10; Matthew 18:19-20; John 3:16, 16:22-24 & Romans 8:15-17. Lyrics Sitting alone up in my empty room I wonder why no one has claimed me If there truly is a God up in heaven Why am I without a family And as I stare into the silent, oh star-filled sky I ask myself "Will God hear my cry?" Abba Father Oh adopt me as Your own For I am a lonely orphan Far away from home Abba Father Please enfold me in Your arms Let me know I am Your child Let me sit at the foot of Your throne Abba Father Please Lord let me see Your face And say the words I long to hear "You'll never be alone" Listening to the echoes of my empty room I hear a voice say "Child why do you grieve? For I sent My Son to earth to die for you And to inherit this gift you only have to believe Anything you ask of Me, child, in My Name I'll grant to you, so ask and you shall receive."
