Intercession

Yesterday I sang a song

of counting blessings one by one,

and as the words with me still lingers,

I found I have clean run out of fingers.

There are so many things to praise You for

that I hesitate to ask for more,

but I have some friends who seem to lack

and I promised each I had their back.

So, let me bring these friends to You

without telling You what You should do,

but simply telling You about their plight

and the constant battles which they fight.

Father, there are stories of betrayal,

of lies and deceit, that makes me wail,

stories of violence and abuse

for which I find there’s no excuse.

Some of my friends are in such pain

that it could drive one quite insane -

their bodies, minds and spirits need

for me to promptly intercede.

Father, You have always answered me

and never ignored a single plea,

so I bring them to You wholly confident

that Your intervention will be evident.
