I PRAY

By T. Couture

Before I close my eyes at night

And then again in morning light

I pray for those that need God’s way

To help them through another day.

I pray for that couple that had a fight

For God’s sweet love to make it right.

I ask that they forget the pain

And find forgiveness and hope again.

I pray for families that had a loss

And I think of Jesus upon that cross.

His nail-scarred hands around them tight

And somehow, I get through the night.

I pray for our leaders and pastors too

For they have a very hard job to do.

I pray for their wives, who have their back

And that their spirit will never lack.

I pray for loved ones that no longer see

The benefits of serving Thee

Oh God! I so long for this

So they can see all that they miss!

I pray for healing for all my friends

I pray for their pain to finally end.

I believe in my heart that you hear me pray

And I KNOW that the answer is on the way!

Lastly, I pray that I may stay close

To the one that I love the very most.

Every second I have on this earth

I want to serve You and see Your worth.
