We pray every day

Without knowing God’s way

We embrace fear

Not knowing what’s near

We stumble here and there

Wondering if God is there

We wonder who to please

As we fall to our knees

We don’t see a choice

As we try to find our voice

We get weighed down

Then begin to wear a frown

It’s something we do

As we try to make it through

Then before our prime

We see God is right on time

We look for what’s set in stone

While we’re all alone

We confront our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Our days are long

We wonder how we’ll remain strong

We have a lot to take

With every step we make

We look for a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We go through the fire

Right down to the wire

We look for our name

We hang our heads in shame

We search for solid ground

We wonder what we’ve found

Our journey cuts to the core

As we prepare for more

We wonder what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Then before we enter our prime

We see God is right on time
