Sacred Prayers
In the silence of the night
There is a pause before a quiet
Voice sighs – lifting up hopes, dreams
With faith, knowing that all things
Are possible with God, His grace
Brings to life – even those who are dead
His love brings light from the darkness
Joy from the desolate, life
From the broken heart, the weary,
The one who knows that His love
Saves the soul from despair,
Emptiness, devastation
In the moments before the dawn
There is a whisper from a heavy heart
One who knows His love will come
To those who believe He is the way –
And, in their heart, choose to pray
For His peace, His kindness, His grace
To bring the light across the life
Who has never believed in the joy of His blessings,
The miracle of His mercy, His light
Satisfying the soul who is discouraged
The heart who is feeling unworthy
The one who is afraid and disheartened,
Feeling like love won’t ever find them
Feeling like hope will never quiet their doubts,
Encourage their prayers and faith,
Make them believe there really is peace
In the moments when a prayer is spoken,
Filling the silence with love and devotion,
Inspiring the spirit and erasing the weariness,
There comes assurance that this love awakens…
The stars and the moon, the sun rising soon
To assure the spirit that love is still willing to give
Their sacred prayers – responses, solutions
Assurance that their heart is worthy, their soul is valuable
To the One who created it all – moon and stars,
The light that shines, sparkling inside – twinkling
In the eyes who smile with wonder when their sacred
Prayers are answered with the promise that His love
Is the best answer they could ever expect to receive
The best that God can give comes from His gift…
With this sacred prayer, erasing every doubt –
There is love that comes to life because He made the sacrifice,
Saved my soul from sin – silenced the darkness within,
His gift
Redemption, - this sacred prayer praises Him!
