God Save My Children! Poem by Denis Martindale

A mother prayed her earnest prayers,
Her prayers to God above,
As one who truly, truly cares,
As one with utmost love...
The love that pleads for pardon's grace,
The path straight to the Cross,
Like those who've seen the Saviour's face,
Once called to suffer loss...

A mother prayed, her heart aflame,
A private passion borne,
She prayed to God in Jesus' Name,
As if her heart were torn...
As if her children could be lost
And lost forevermore,
If unaware Christ paid the cost
That opened Heaven's door...

And so in time, God granted faith
To children gone astray,
Because the Lord proves strong to save,
That's always been His way...
Thus Jesus came to turn around,
To change minds back to Him,
In wondrous ways that can astound
And fill hearts to the brim...

For what's love worth unless released?
True love's a miracle,
Through love, Man's faith can be increased,
To bless both one and all...
Lord Jesus died and rose again,
He hears each mother's prayers,
He hears yours, too, the moment when
You learn how much He cares...
