'My Prayer' Poem by Linda Winchell

We all must gather together
In God's, 'Holy Christian community.'
To pray for all who are lost and searching
And maybe even say one just for you and me.

Going hand and hand together
Up to the Altar of our Lord!
And placing each prayer we've carried
At the foot of the cross,
That You my Jesus bore.

Spewing out each cry to you, 'Oh Lord'
As if it were fire shooting from our lips.
Reaching high as high as we can
With folded praying hands and finger tips.

Praising You Lord for Your mercy and Love
Crying out that You will hear.
All the prayers yet un-spoken
All of what we've now carried here!

Tears will fall like a rivers rush
From our swollen,
now closed and prayerful eyes!
Crying out to You, 'Oh Lord! '
'Lord please hear our prayers, our cries! '

Our world is in such need of prayer
More than maybe ever as before.
But one thing we as your Christ followers, 'Oh Lord'
We can pray much, so much more.

'Here I am, my Lord, My God! '
I lay prostrated now at Thy throne!
I have brought others along with me to pray
I have not, 'Oh Lord', come to You alone.

We've come to ask for Thy Mercy
We've come to ask for Thy forgiving Love.
We've come to pray for the worlds lost and broken
Are prayers are to you, 'Oh Lord'
To Heavens home high above.

'God Hear Our Prayers! ' Amen
