This I Ask

I pray to my Lord above,
To look down on this world full of pain.
To see all those who don't know true love,
To help all those who believe themselves to be insane.
We need your help right away.
Each person needs an angel of their own,
Someone to guide them back when they stray,
As Christians we are never fully grown. 
My Lord God, my Father, please,
Heal those with bodies so broken,
Touch those who need their pain to ease,
Comfort those whose hearts are broken again and again.
Shelter those who are repeatedly beaten black and blue,
Calm those who hear the screams in the dark of night,
Shine a light on those who do not know you,
Blind those who have visions of horror, echoing in their field of sight.
I pray to you my Lord, my God,
Warm those who feel the loneliness so cold,
Cradle those who have never felt such love like yours, sweet Jesus.
Mend the hearts of those that have been shaken to the core,
Help rebuild trust in those who feel it no more,
Comfort those who seldom sleep, 
Wipe the tears from the eyes of those who weep.
Protect those who have never known how it feels,
To be loved so deeply and true.
Bring peace to this world at war,
Give rest to those so weary.
This I ask of my Lord above,
Send your angels down to spread your love.
In thy name, I pray,
Amen.
