Prayer Power

Personally, I DO believe that Someone can hear me when I pray. I believe that God is there to hear my prayer - even when I can't find the right things to say. But, as important as I truly believe prayer is, I believe that the 'follow up' is even MORE important - what happens AFTER the prayer. We may not always get the answer we WANT, but I truly believe we will always get the answer we NEED.

Please understand - I'm not trying to convince you to believe as I do, nor force my beliefs on you. You're free to believe in who or whatever you choose. These are simply MY beliefs and the way I choose to express them. Whether you agree or not, I hope you enjoy what I've written here. If you feel at all encouraged, or enlightened in any way, I hope that you would please share my message with others.

I see you crouching
With your head in your hands.
Your anguished heart pleading
For one who understands.
I hear your whispers,
I feel each of your tears -
Aching to get through
Days that seem like years.
You've opened your heart
To an unseen Hand.
It takes guts to kneel,
But it takes more to stand.

CHORUS:
Will you stand up and fight?
Will you stand for what's right?
Rise up and shine,
Sweet child of Mine.
Stand up and fight for Me.
I've walked in your shoes
Felt the weight of your load.
Seen the perils you've faced
On that dark, lonely road.
But rise up and shine
Sweet child of Mine.
Stand up and fight for Me.

The battle's begun.
You're a soldier at war.
Fight like no other
That has gone on before.
You're bruised and broken.
I feel all of your pain.
But, please get to your feet
And get out there again.
The fight isn't easy,
And it may never be.
But the victory's yours
If you'll stand up for Me.

BRIDGE:
Rise up and shine
Sweet child of Mine.
Stand up and fight for Me.
