Today I lifted up your name
Before the Lord in prayer.
I asked Him to supply your needs,
And keep you in His care.



I pled with Him to make you well,
And take away your pain;
To chase away your sorrows,
as The sunshine chases rain.



Because I know He holds you in
The hollow of His hand,
I prayed that you would know His peace,
And have the strength to stand.



If you should be discouraged,
and Feel moored in deep despair,
Please know I dearly love you,
and Remember you in prayer.
