MIDWEEK PRAYER

It's not easy coming up with a new prayer every week but this week it was.  I noted that Elvis Presley made a Chirstmas album way back in 1957.  This is most of one of the songs on that album.  It is so poetic.  I never thought of it as a Chirstmas song but, since Elvis did, here it is.  I love the thought.  Read it as a poem, sing it or go to YouTube and listen.  Inspiration!

I believe for every drop of rain that falls

a flower grows.

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night

a candle glows.

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come

to show the way.

Yes, I believe. I believe.

I believe above a storm, the smallest prayer

can still be heard.

I believe that someone in the great somewhere

hears every word.

And everytime I hear a newborn baby cry

or touch a leaf or see the sky

then I know why,

I believe.
