PRAYER FOR THE MISSING CHILDREN
HEAVENLY FATHER, AS IN TIMES PAST,
I COME, WITH HEART IN HANDS,
OFFERING LOVE AND WORSHIP;
SEEKING INSIGHT TO YOUR PLANS.
EVERY DAY, DEAR LORD,
MISSING CHILDREN ARE BROUGHT TO MIND;
SO MANY TAKEN, BY ONE PARENT OR THE OTHER.
BUT, MANY OTHERS WE JUST CAN'T FIND.
THOUGH, I KNOW, MY HEAVENLY FATHER,
YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR SIGHT.
THEY ARE NEVER LOST TO YOU.
PLEASE HELP THEM IN THEIR FRIGHT.
SWEET LITTLE FACES,
WITH SMILES THAT MELT OUR HEART,
TAKEN, MAYBE BY SOME STRANGER.
THAT TEARS OUR SOUL APART.
FATHER GOD, SUCH WRENCHING PAIN ~
ALMOST MORE THAN WE CAN BARE.
WE, AS MORTALS, CAN COPE NO MORE.
SO, WE GIVE THEM TO YOU IN PRAYER.
SOME, MY LORD, I'M SURE, HAVE PASSED
FROM OUR EARTHLY HOUSE TO YOURS.
THEY HAVE CROSSED THE CHILLY WATERS
AND COME TO HEAVENS SHORES.
OTHERS, THOUGH WE STILL HAVE HOPE,
WILL RETURN TO ARMS OF FAMILY LOVE,
HERE, ON EARTH; STILL ABIDING,
NOT TIME FOR THEM TO GO ABOVE.
LORD, BE A COMFORTER
FOR THOSE WHO WAIT AND MOURN.
THE GRIEVING PARENTS YOU GAVE THEM,
THE CHILD THAT THEY HAD BORN.
THOUGH UNSEEN TO US, MY FATHER,
YOU KNOW JUST WHERE THEY ARE, TODAY.
THOSE GATHERED HOME TO YOU, NOW, SAFE;
IT'S FOR THE MISSING THAT WE PRAY.
PLEASE HOLD THEM, JEHOVAH, GOD.
PROTECT THEM FROM THE PAIN.
TEND THEM ALL AND MERCY KEEP,
AND SEND THEM HOME, AGAIN.
ALL THESE THINGS WE ASK OF YOU.
PLEASE, LET US HOPE, FOR NOW.
WE KNOW NOT WHERE THEY BE
RETURN THEM FATHER.
TO YOU WE LEAVE THE HOW.
WE LIFT EACH WEE ONE, O LORD;
TEENAGER AND THOSE IN-BETWEEN ~
OUT OF SIGHT FROM US, MY LORD.
BUT, TO YOU THEY ARE NOT UNSEEN.
THE SEARCH WILL NEVER END.
FOR, SOME HAVE GONE ASTRAY.
FATHER, WATCH OVER THEM
AND SEND SOME HOME, TODAY.
BLESS THE LITTLE CHILDREN, LORD.
WIPE AWAY EACH FRIGHTENED TEAR;
FOR THOSE WHO MADE IT HOME WITH YOU
AND FOR THOSE WHO STILL LINGER HERE.
WHETHER WE FIND THEM, JESUS,
EITHER HERE, ON EARTH, OR OVER THERE;
GOD TELL THEM, EVERY ONE,
HOW VERY MUCH WE CARE.
THE NEVER ENDING SEARCH GOES ON
'TIL WE MEET AT JESUS' FEET.
'TWILL BE REUNITED, THERE,
AND ALL THINGS, IN YOU, ARE, NOW, COMPLETE.
SO, FATHER OF MERCY, WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS,
HEAR US AS WE PRAY FOR EVERY ONE.
MAY ALL THINGS BE AS YOU HAVE PLANNED
AND FOR THE CHILDREN, MAY THY WILL BE DONE.
AMEN
THE BIBLE SAYS, "SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN
TO COME UNTO ME AND FORBID THEM NOT,
FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD."
