I knelt down to pray tonight
I asked that you would hear
The silent crying of my heart
And the pain I've carried all these years

I asked you to help the others
Who have this journey yet to take
Sometimes it's so hard Lord
When the pain strikes when we wake

Some of us question why
Our children had to go
There are no answers on earth
It's only You that knows

Sometimes the pain in unbearable
And times we cannot cope
Sometimes we lose everything we have
Sometimes all we have left is hope

I knelt down tonight again Lord
And I hope that you will see
There are so many of us
Who need proof of eternity

Tonight when I said, "Our Father....."
And held my beads in my hand
I felt confident that You heard Lord
From the beautiful promise land

Give the parents strength Lord
Like you have given to me
Show them the way Lord
For sometimes the eyes cannot see

Touch them with your gentleness
Like a warm summer breeze
Let them know you are there Lord
Show them the way you showed me
