One Prayer Away

 

When the road has been too long

And burdens are avowed

Command yourself to being strong

For just the here and now

But if you find, you cannot keep

The vast struggles at bay

Remember as you stop to weep

I am one prayer away.

 

Embrace the trouble that you bear

And heed its weighed call

Although you feel pain and despair

You need not take a fall

Place faith in what the future holds

Whene’er the skies are gray

And know as each moment unfolds

I am one prayer away.

 

When the daylight is growing dim

And darkness comes to state

In all its vigor and its vim

That sorrow is your fate

Remember, if you shed a tear

That in your heart I’ll stay

For even when I am not near –

I am one prayer away.
