When Her Prayers Are Silenced

from Lo, and I Am Burning by Úzkost

/

lyrics

My dearest heart:
I don't want to know what it’s like
To live in a world that
Doesn't have you intervening for it.
I don't want to
Live a life
That isn't covered
By your prayers.
My whole life,
You have been
Before your Creator
Speaking on my behalf.
What kind of life will I lead?
What kind of man will I become?
Where would I have been if "life had happened",
Or you were too tired or too angry
To daily get on your knees and cry out for me?
I am the man I am because of you.
All the good in me was from you.
I learned how to live a life of grace and love
Because of who you were.
Who you were.
You taught me how to love my neighbor and love our God.
You pulled me from darkness and bathed me in light.
You were the brightest flame in my life.
Your strength seemed limitless. your joy infectious.
Who can take your place?
What will this world be?
What kind of life will I lead?
What kind of man will I become?
Where would I have been if "life had happened",
Or you were too tired or too angry
To daily get on your knees and cry out for me?
I am the man I am because of you.
All the good in me was from you.
Through you I learned how to live a life of grace and love.
