Dear God, if you are as powerful as people say
My friend is weeping on this very fateful morning
Please use your might to help me take his pain away
As I’ve failed to offer sympathy to his mourning

If you are as merciful as my mother tells me
He is shedding silent tears in this moment of grief
Please place your two gentle hands on his shaking knees
So I don’t look at you with doubt and question my belief

If you are as faithful as those who pray to you
He is fighting his paralysed body from the hurt
Please give your strength to him and your protection too
And I’ll dig up all my sins buried underneath the dirt

If you are as helpful as they believe you to be
He is freezing from the shivers and aches in his face
Please show your light and alleviate his agony
For I’m willing to take each suffering in his place

Dear God, if you are any of the things you swore
Please only be a prayer away and not more
