I know my heart has prayed this prayer . . .
Prayer for Song
Mend my broken mood,
Maker of Life and Song,
Lest this interlude
Of silence be too long.
Call my soul awake,
Set my heart aflame!
Singing fire will make
Ash of sloth and shame.
Touch my lips with song,
Wing my words with good.
Shepherd of things gone wrong,
Mend my broken mood.
