Our Prayers

  
Our prayers are rising smoke and dust;
our prayers are ash and cinder,
but still we pray
for mercy more
and we to love surrender.

Our prayers are silenced by the wind;
our prayers by floods are swallowed,
and still we pray
for mercy more
to rise up and to follow.


Our prayers lay bleeding in the street;
our prayers die without a trace,
Lord, still we pray
for mercy more
to extend your hand of grace.
