...and so we pray

…and so we pray

For who can say

What the unknown

Will soon make known

Or who can bear

Better than prayer

The weight of living’s

Grief and groan

…and so we pray

For, come what may

Of love and loss

And letting go

Before the throne

Of God alone

We place our worry,

Want and woe

…and so we pray

God knows the way

The what and why

Are in His care

Mortal pleads

He intercedes

As we entrust

To Him our prayer

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on our difficulties.
