ALL NIGHT I MAKE MY BED SWIM

Praying to God for His mercy is right;

But what if He tarries or is out of sight?

How should we pray when answers are not immediately forthcoming?

There are many things we must consider as we do soul-searching!

 

We must consider praying with greater intensity;

Prayers must ascend to Heaven unceasingly.

Tears are valued, for they communicate what words fail to do;

They must help us express to the Lord that our hearts are true!

 

The fear deepens and suddenly there is Death;

He threatens to take away our last breath.

What shall we plead if the last breath is drawn?

We will plead Mercy as the Night ends and the Day dawns!

 

The LORD’s Heart is not bent on our destruction;

He will examine our heart’s faith and devotion.

He will grant much grace and needed mercy;

Let us learn to pray with greater intensity!
