How Can We Not Pray
by Kathleen HighamHow can we not pray
Just knowing God is there
Grateful for each moment
That we can breathe a prayer
How can we not pray
When there is fear and despair
Especially when we are falling
And darkness is everywhere
How can we not pray
For the struggle to endure
Knowing that the answer comes
God listens, I am sure
How can we not pray
As a tiny baby is born
Or when we lose a loved one
Brokenhearted we will mourn
How can we not pray
When another day has arrived
But some no longer with us
And yet we have survived
How can we not pray
When the sun warms our face
Or the stars light our path
In our heart,the secret place
How can we not pray
For the moment we can't know
When God will draw us to Him
And joyfully we will go
How can we not pray
Having seen so many die
Yet, sometimes we do not pray
Lord, I wonder, wonder why
