a prayer

i put pen to paper and pray for words
much like the guitarist prays for chords
i place letter beside letter, word next to word
praying in desperation, inspiration from the Lord
I pray from deep in my heart of hearts
For this pen to spawn a fresh work of art
For the truth to be spoken, one stony heart broken
Let it be wisdom that I impart
For I write no longer that I might be healed
Nay, I write in the hopes that the truth be revealed
I write to enrich, I write to empower
I write to loose shackles, I write for the hour
to stand and claim your inheritance is here
I write to reassure you to have no fear
I write in the hopes that you hear what I say
but most of all I write to pray..


i pray you good, i pray you well
i pray you all you pray yourself
i pray you all your pleasant dreams
i pray you might, i pray you means
to get ahead, i pray you hope
in trying times, i pray you cope
I pray you years of overflow
I pray you wisdom to deal with it though
I pray you excess, i pray you success
I pray you reap a hundred fold
I pray you smiles, I pray you laughter
I pray you joy for now and after
I pray you peace, everyday, every way
My friend, in Jesus' Name I pray

Amen.
