I PRAYED

I said a prayer for you today
That all your pain would fade away.
That you would feel His love for you
Surround your soul your whole day through.

I asked the Lord to give you peace
And that your worries would decrease.
I asked for joy and laughter too
And that He’d make your gray skies blue.

I prayed that if you just can’t cope
That He would shower you with hope.
I prayed He’d take away your fears
And that He’d wipe away your tears.

I prayed and asked that you would feel
His gentle hand reach down and heal.
And when you feel down and depressed
I asked the Lord to give you rest.

He knows you may not understand
But He has all of your days planned.
He’ll never leave you this is true
He’s with you every moment through.

We all do struggle in our life
Trials we face that brings us strife.
Just lean on God and others now
And you’ll get through it all somehow.

You see I love you very much
And I pray you feel God’s gentle touch.
Surround your heart and soul each day
As you keep trusting in His way.

I said a prayer down on my knee
That your pain and worries would just flee.
I said a prayer for you today
And everyday for you I’ll pray.
