Father Of All

I lift up names

You know them Lord

You knew us before birth

For You are God

And Father of

All in heaven and earth

Then, when I pray

Their names to You

According to Your will

You, knowing them

The way You do

Know just what need to fill

Hallelujah,

Thank-you

Amen

When Matt (son, 19) comes home no matter what time it is he often comes in to my room to talk...

usually jolting me out of my first deep sleep.

(I will NEVER tell him to quit coming in:)

but sometimes its hard to fall back to sleep right away...

so then when I don't know how to pray

or for what exactly,

I lift up names 

leaving the rest to He 

who fills in the blanks

perfectly!
