I wrote a prayer just the other night In it I asked for the gift of flight That I may flee all this insecurity It lies deep within so none can see But when the night has come My mind becomes undone I wrote a prayer just the other day In it I wrote all that I had to say Lord I began and Lord I ended Yet I left so many offended “How dare I speak to someone not there!” “How do I know that He can even care?” They asked these questions repeatedly Yet they never once considered me The world pretends it wants the best But soon you realize the parasitic pest Drains you and steals the life in your veins Yet we are able to break these chains We turn our eyes to the Healer We put our hope in our Leader Yes! We have the power to say, do, and be All that Christ intended for us on Calvary So brothers and sisters, let us learn to love And forget how to push and shove Too often is a person broken down By the thorns on Jesus’ crown
