Let this one stand out


Lord, why do you have people hurt so? Why do you make them strain till at the very last row? All the hurt and pain Just pours down like rain. Yes lord I will follow you to the end. Yet how much am I goin to have to bend? Waiting each moment for the sign. For all the stars to align. Lord, if you love us like you do... Then why all these things you put us through? Loved ones hurt and die. Yet all you do is sit way up high… Watching us with love in your heart For every child you left a little part. As I pray to you here I only want what is best for my family far and near Please keep them safe from harm And never have them be alarmed For I know you watch after them in every moment that waits Before they end up with you inside your heavenly gates. Father I love you and everything you are about. Please out of all of the prayers... let this one stand out.
