Hear my prayers, oh lord please?
By Fiona Cummings
Hear my prayers, oh lord please?
Open the windows and let in the light
Remove the darkness and gift me with sight
Please focus on those who live in silence
Protect others who suffer violence
Lift up that child who falls at your knees
Hear my prayers, oh lord please?
Love those who can not be near
And give brave thoughts to all in fear
Find us when we have lost our way
Save the dying so they can live another day
And those who have gone to you in a place we’ve yet to
discover
Give faith to those left behind so they don’t suffer
Hear my prayers, oh lord please?
For those who are alone with nothing but their voice
Let them find a friend perhaps a few so they have choice
Guide us when we are not sure in which direction to go
Show us the map of life so we will know
When we are in pain, please hold our hand
When we feel like there is no one who can understand
Hear my prayers, oh lord please?
Allow us to be good to others
Treat people like our sisters and brothers
Give away something, to us, which is free
And that is our time a minute or three
Every day when we pass by a house with a
closed window
Ponder upon when we last saw them and wonder if they may
need us
Just knock on the door and say hello, no need to make a fuss
Hear my prayers, oh lord please?
Smile at someone as you pass by
If someone looks sad, ask yourself why?
Open your arms to family and friends
Try to help strangers to the very end
This is what we can do for the Lord
It costs nothing, time we can afford
To our maker and ourselves, we can applaud
Hear my prayers; oh lord as we hear yours
