When nights are dark, and troubles abound...
When our mood is darker still,
And pressures untold do us surround
And our half-empty cup won't fill.
We are given yet one more task to do
And where is the heart to do it?
"A.S.A.P!" calls a voice we once knew
But too often forget that we knew it.
"As Soon As Possible" our brain will insist,
But Something calls to our soul:
"Nay, what I give, you must not resist...
"I give what will make you whole."
"It means Always Say A Prayer!
Forget all else, but never that,
Lest I forget that you are there!"
When time bears down and aborts your plans,
And injustice is your fare;
For those you love, you must seek help from above
When you fight with all the strength that you have
To do what's right and fair
And "fall back, fall back" seems the only Command
And fear slithers out from its lair
Take hold, fight on, fight on, for you must...
And Always Say A Prayer
And when pressures begin to overwhelm
And there is no time to spare.
Then as you hurry in foolish flurry,
Always Say A Prayer
In the midst of family chaos
"Quality Time" is rare.
Do your best, let God do the rest,
And...
Always Say A Prayer
It may seem to you that your worries
Are more than you can bear
Slow down, He's there; you must take a breather,
And...
Always Say A Prayer
And when the cards don't fall as they should,
And it's like the Game of Life...
When you force a grin, though you know you can't win
Any more, at that moment, than strife...
Why it's then, you see, that this becomes rare, if you...
Always Say A Prayer
You need to love and to be loved,
And God finds you the love that you need!
And when it seems it's just one of your dreams
Always Say A Prayer
A time may come when one you trust
And love with all your heart,
Hurts you in ways that seem awfully unjust
And that seem to drive you apart...
You must hang in, let God begin
To show you He will be there.
Put your heart in His hands, give up your demands,
And....
Always Say A Prayer
