A PRAYER
When things go wrong and storms blow up
And life is all despair,
Lord, put your arms around my friend
And keep her in your care?
When there is no peace within
And rest is hard to find,
Enter then into her soul
And soothe her troubled mind.
If friends prove false and love grows cold
And all appears in vain,
Please dry her tears with your love
And take away her pain.
Be with her, Lord, what ere befall,
Still every angry sea;
Show her at last your glorious face
And set her spirit free.
