Prayer
by Danette Kettwich

The night reminds of failures
The dawn shines of your grace
Bring me yet another chance
To come to your embrace.

Some long to be with nature
I long to be with you
I want to climb the mountain
And proclaim all you do.

When the shadows fall upon
Like weights upon my chest
Please, Lord Jesus, come to me
And grant me peace and rest.

When the valleys oh so deep
And raging rivers wide
Raise me up onto the clouds
To stand right by your side.

I come to you so weary
As tears cloud up my eyes
Help me focus on the goal
And my eternal prize.
