A Prayer For
Widows & Widowers
Lord, do I need someone to love me?
Can I live without being told,
That I am loved so very much,
By someone special til I'm old?
Now, Father, You have taken
An important part of me;
Though times I feel so alone,
Your Presence won't let this be!
When I need to share with someone,
Every time I'll come to You;
Just who, Father, is more special
And more wonderful than you?
Lord, You understand me,
And far more than any friend;
I'm thankful that You love me,
With such Love, It will not end!
Should I say I walk alone
Down the ocean's restless shore?
Lord, You know I'd just be lying,
When we've walked that way before!
Oh Father, who really cares
'Bout this aching heart of mine?
No one, Lord, cares more than you,
So I'll keep my hand in Thine!
When I need an arm to hold,
Maybe someone's warm embrace;
Show me how a person, Lord;
Could never take your place!
Oh touch my life dear Jesus,
When everything's going rough,
Change my sadness into gladness,
Then I'll know You are Enough!
