"Darkness Answers Prayers"
When you are afraid at night
Just Peek out of the Covers
Darkness understands when you pray to it
It relents when we are afraid
Mercy sees when things are a bit too hard
You peer out of your safety and watch it
Watching silently with wide eyes
Not knowing whether to be afraid
Just look at the thing that is hurting you quietly
In a quiet and thoughtful way
It helps to say a little prayer
I believe that that darkness will leave you alone
Maybe not at first but eventually
Just peek out of the covers
Darkness answers prayers
Just listen and wait and be still
I believe this action will save the world
It wants to be heard when it is roaring
All noise is just a storm
It will ebb and fade with the passing of time
And say a little prayer
It hears just like we do
Just listen to it going on
Just peek out of the covers
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
