Lyrics
Sending Up A Prayer
Words and Music by: Margo B. Smith
When trials and troubles occur, sometimes I hear the words
Why did this happen to me?
There are losses that cost us, heartaches and crosses
Suffering, and misery
Hard times that come upon us are certainly not what we planned
Striking like a flash of lightning, we don?t understand
Calamities, catastrophes, tears in the night
Seem to be a part of this life
Chorus
I?m sending up a prayer, ?Dear Lord, please help us?
I?m sending up a prayer, ?Lord, it is in Your hands?
?Cause when I feel my burdens have turned into more than enough
I won?t bother to put up a fuss, because in You, Lord, I place my trust
Time is marching on and there?s a truth we come to know
That in this life there?s both happy and sad
There?s a funeral, a birth, there?s a fortune a dearth
Then sometimes we feel like we?ve been had.
Hard times that come upon us are certainly not what we planned
Striking like a flash of lightning, we don?t understand
Calamities, catastrophes, tears in the night
Seem to be a part of this life.
Chorus
When tragedy strikes it cuts through to our souls,
Things happen in life that we just can not control.
The Lord in his mercy wipes tears from our face,
He offers His loving embrace.
Chorus
The Lord?s loving kindness, helps us to cope
In hard times He offers us hope
