        ONLY A PRAYER AWAY
There can’t be always sunshine through life,
We need to have our share of hurt and strife,
Or we wouldn’t appreciate the good around
If it were just wonderful things that we found.

Sorrow clouds may mar the sun so bright,
The moon hide her face darkening the night,
Hurt and anguish, afflictions and heartache,
Enough pain it seems to make a heart break,

But never forget about the great power of prayer,
Kneeling by the bed you will feel Him there,
A comforting arm around you feel His smile,
His peace will be with you every hard mile.

He is only a prayer away, He waits with open arms,
He wipes away the tears and your turmoil calms,
He will fill your emptiness with everlasting love,
Give the needed comfort, safely leading you above.

However hard the pain may be He has suffered more,
He is just that sweet prayer away, waiting by the door
Of your heart, hurting with you day by painful day.
I’ll say again, He is only a heartfelt prayer away.
