A Shepherd's Prayer

All that we know doesn’t fill the caverns of questions our hearts ache to know.
Why does such evil prevail?
Are you there is the suffering of millions?

Peace is a lost hope it seems,
Civility melts into factions of greed.
We lift up our hands to you,
Empty of answers

The camp is surrounded it seems,
We look to the hills and we see no relief.
A war of attrition we see,
The weak are devoured and the strong are pulled down.

We wade through the wounded and sense,
No matter how much that we do it’s a loss.
What is our calling in this?
Is your strength to be shown in our weakness?

But when we see you there,
All our questions will fade by the light of your face.
As your brightness fills,
All the valleys that once held our darkness and fear.

All that we know doesn't fill the caverns of questions our hearts ache to know.
What is our calling in this?
Is your strength to be shown in our weakness?
