Lord, give me someone to
believe,
This hope that’s in my heart.
Though most cannot hold fast,
I pray for one to share that
part.
For, I must hope, above all
others.
I must watch and pray
Until my child is safe, again,
And steady in Your way.
A Mother’s heart cannot give up
Or fail to furnish hope.
Encouragement must flourish most
When they’re on a downward
slope.
Don’t let the clouds sweep over
me.
Don’t let me fail to see
Sunshine, in a life of gloom,
Hope in his destiny.
Friends don’t always laugh and
run.
Neither do they sigh,
But stand together, during
trials,
Supporting side by side.
So, send someone, dear Lord, I
pray,
To touch, to see, to know
That they believe and hold my
hope
As precious to their soul.
