This morning's service at church was a prayer meeting. We as a body got on our knees before our Heavenly King and prayed together. And as I prayed, my thoughts took form and meter, and this is what emerged. May it encourage you as it encouraged me.
We stand in the dark
As chaos lies all around
We cannot stand on our own
We wait for Your Voice to sound
We cannot understand
And so we doubt in fear
We cannot see Your master plan
Oh God, draw ever near
Roll back the clouds, oh God
Let Your glory shine
Turn back the approaching dark
Draw Your dividing line
Stop up the waves of despair
Smash in pieces the encroaching fear
Protect your chosen people
Cast away our sins from here
Pour out instead Your loving grace
Spill out Your wondrous love
Wash us in Your holy power
Turn our eyes to You above
Keep our eyes fixed on You
Let Your people feel your peace
Kings may fall and countries tremble
But Your mercies ever increase
We tremble in Your presence
We fall on our knees in praise
We wait upon Your tender mercy
We rely on Your saving grace
Our outcry rises to Your listening ear
You reach down with loving care
You will always and forever hear
Oh God, draw ever near
This is beautiful. It really is. Thank you.
