When I wake up in the middle of the night Weighed down by news of illness, hate or war Let my worries be prayer
That beloved one in the hospital Let her be free from pain Hold him if he is afraid Thank you for all those working to comfort, care, and heal
So many signs and sounds of war Send wisdom to the leaders of the world Protect the vulnerable who sit or live or walk in harm's way
Hatred and fear divide us Friends, families, communities torn apart Heal us, hold us Help us see that we are more alike than different
When I wake up in the middle of the night Weighed down by news of illness, hate or war Let my fretfulness be time with you Let my fears be intercessions Let my worries be prayer
