say a prayer tonight

"To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
When you said goodbye...
And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough...
For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering
(chorus)
When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus, Cry to Jesus
(chorus)
To the widow who struggles with being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight..." --Third Day--


I have dear friends who are going through a very dark valley right now and honestly...well, there are times when I don't have the words, and as I'm driving to my usual day of work, the Lord intervenes and I hear this song on the radio that I've heard many times before. He so often speaks quietly through song when my spirit is weak and I'm utterly speechless. Praise the Lord, O my soul...
