Lord Hear My Prayer

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

Lord Hear My Prayer

 

 

I __ cry out to God

 

A __ heartfelt prayer

M __ y son is a all that I have

 

A __ child in my old age

 

M __ y heart breaks within my chest

A __ break that will never mend

N __ o matter how long may I live

 

I __ n the day of judgment you’ll know I obeyed

N __ ot withholding my only son

 

L __ ist all my obedience to your word

O __ verturn your decree, Oh Lord

V __ ictorious Messiah intercede

E __ ternal reprieve for Isaac

 

W __ ith your Almighty Hand send your Bright Morning Star

I __ n this my hour of turmoil

T __ he Star that shines brighter than all stars above

H __ e will set my mind at ease

 

T __ he stars in the sky are my inheritance

H __ eap on me Your Light

E __ verlasting light of Your Messiah

 

S __ end down this reprieve by Your holy angel

E __ nter my heart and shine within me

T __ o You dear Lord I pray

T __ o You dear Lord I seek refuge

I __ n the twinkling of Your stars

N __ othing can harm my son

G __ rieve me not oh Lord

 

S __ tanding in the light of Your day star

T __ o seek the life of my only son

A __ nd in the fullness of time

R __ emember this day and spare not Your Son

S __ tars fill the sky like my descendents, Your decree

Wow. So very creative and supremely thought provoking. I would never have thought to break each letter down as you did... Very well done, my friend.
