But I, I Prayed



Though mouths of deceit and slander opened wide against me,
Returning love with words of hate to cut me so spitefully;
Joined together to make war upon Your child without reason,
Raining down torrents of terror on my goodness; turning treason.

But I, I Prayed.

So they would see me, turn away and whisper and shake their heads,
Never suspecting they’d return home to sleep in such cursed beds.
While no one may see God, God sees all, and the Lord heard my plea,
Merciful to the merciful, God strikes down the unjust in divine decree.

Because I, I Prayed.

Now nothing more to fear,
In arms so strong and dear;
Melody surrounds all around,
And I sleep safely in the sound.
