I'll Pray For You

Of course, I'll say a prayer for you ~
A blessing for us both;
For me, another touch with God ...
For you, to wake a hope.

Oh, no, it's not a bother!
It's a privilege, you see;
A compliment, you seem so sure
He would listen ~ to me.

No, I don't need your history.
Though, I have time to stay,
I'll gladly listen to you tell
Why you need prayer, today.

And, I won't place conditions
Upon this prayer for you.
Just the fact that you have asked me
Tells me, it's the thing to do.

When I come to think about
The early mornin' dark,
When I step into the kitchen,
I never try to chase it out.

I just throw the switch and light invades,
Drives the dark away ~
Like Jesus coming into our hearts
Charting out our way.

Remember, God may make a change
In your heart ~ or in mine.
For, He is always on the job ~
Working overtime!
