BATTLE IN PRAYER

Now I lay me down to sleep,
Was the last thing on my mind
As I drifted far away
Peace and rest for me to find
I settled for a quiet place
With no one else around
And dreamt there in my solitude
Till morning could be found
But in an instant I saw your face
Your pain was showing through
How could I lay down to rest
When there was none for you?
My soul was gently shaking
My body to arise
"come now, to a higher place"
I stretch and rub my eyes
The room is dark, no morning here
Just the silence of the night.
"Get up and put your armor on,
A battle is ready to fight"
So I picked up His Truth that you are healed
And I laid it at Jesus' feet
Your Righteousness was bought by His dear blood
So there is no death, no defeat
I wrapped His Peace around your soul,
took His Sword into my hand
His Word slashed the enemy's grip
As your Faith took a stand
The battle now is over
His Salvation captured your pain
"you both can go in peace now"
And my mind drifts off again
I feel the warmth of the morning light
And open up my eyes
I raise my hands toward Heaven
And look up to the skies
I feel refreshed, renewed, alive
No battle scars I see
The pain is gone and now I know-
it wasYou,,,who prayed for ME!
