Every Person, Every Prayer

In the small container
of my heart I carry
so many who need
Your Healing
Your Comfort
Your Peace

All those
I remember
All those
You remember
for me in the deep
groaning of my spirit

Thou Who Art Life
Thou Who Art Light
Though Who Art Love

Each prayer that fails
to touch my lips
still in Your Diligent Kindness
I know You hear it

And with all my heart
I do believe that in time
You will relieve
every sorrow
every struggle
every pain
every care

Caring as only
You can for
every person
every prayer
