In The Dead Of Night Poem by Danny Speicher

Lord, why is it, now, times are so tough
When we work so hard for not enough
Thoughts of saving seem absurd
While the rich get the last word
Paycheck to paycheck sure can be rough

Lord, I know my life is in Your hands
But, there are things I can't understand
Like suffering of the good
Oh, I'd help them if I could
But, myself, I'm unable to stand

Lord, You've given me this one great dream
Reaching it is harder than it seems
Everyone seems to wonder
What curse I must be under
Which keeps me from picking up more steam

Lord, I know you have a master plan
And life is lived in a long lifespan
But, Lord, I'm growing older
And, my dream's getting colder
Oh, Lord, complete what, once, You began

Lord, I trust You in the dead of night
What can I do to temper my fright
So, may I humbly appeal
You to quickly take the wheel
Drive my life to purpose in Your light

Lord, I thank You for all that You've done
Sacrificing of Your only Son
And the dream You've given me
With the hope of being free
These promises that can't be undone
