I Talked to my Father Last Night

I talked to my Father last night,
I asked that He help to make things right.
I told Him how you’re hurting to,
You don’t know what else you can do,
I wondered if He might lend His hands,
To help fulfill your few demands.
I talked to my Father again today,
And these are the words that I did say.

I said Jesus, I feel their hurt and stress,
They can’t sleep, and there’s no time for rest,
They need help and strength along the way,
So they can see the light of day.
They need to pay their bills, buy food,
And keep their home,
But they are feeling pushed aside,
failed and all alone.
Tell them Father what is it they can do,
I know you hear the words I pray to you.

Not everyone has faith in you above,
But I know for each of us you truly love,
You are there when we are weak and have our say,
I know you hear our hearts each time we pray.
I accept the blame when I’ve done wrong,
I give you praise  each day in prayer and song,
You given us the right and wrong to chose,
If we follow you, we’ll never lose.

So tell them Father, what is it they can  do,
Please help them Jesus, I pray to you.
Help them see the light through the door,
Help them have faith for evermore.
I talked to my Father last night,
I asked that He help to make things right,
I talked to my Father again today,
I pray things will be brighter each  and everyday.
