Once Upon A Shadow, Deep Inside A Dream

The Prayer

Somewhere deep inside,
she buried the pain of all his lies,
broken promises everyday,
but knew there had to be an easier way.
The frequent business trips he went on,
kept getting endlessly long.
All alone for weeks on end,
hoping for a special friend.

Then one day there was a knock at her door,
the people there began to implore.
"Is Jesus in your heart today?
He's the one and only way,
to reach our Father above,
and be surrounded by His love."

Tears streaming from her eyes,
as she hears how and why Jesus died.
With her new friends,
she ensures the life that has no end.
On bended knee she prays,
aloud, she says,
"Our Father, hear my call,
I wanted to have it all,
earthly possessions were my thing,
from money to a large diamond ring.
I know I'm a sinner, dear God, I do,
I cannot deny that that is true.
In Your name, dear God, I ask for Your help and Your love,
that can only come from You above.
Forgive me of my horrid sins,
cleanse the black soul within.
Touch me with your Heavenly Grace,
while I seek Your face.
I love You, Lord, with all my heart,
and I know we'll never be apart.
Let me have the Holy Ghost,
and be the proper host.
Take my whole life,
oh God, and take away all my strife.
I ask this in Your name,
help me to never be the same.
Amen." she said.
"Amen." they said.

A group of people humble before,
our great and wonderful Lord.
