GBPhanatic Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) I thought I'd mention what inspired me to write this one in the first place. Of course, it was a segment in Machine Gun Preacher when the statement was made to Sam that he "can't save them all" and what I feel would go through Sam's mind when he heard that and how he used the power of prayer to summon his strength and courage and get some divine intervention. One Man’s Prayer Let me be their voice As they cry unheard, Those who have no choice Let me find each word. Lord, please guide me on, Strong and benevolent. Save them one by one, The meek and innocent. Keep them safe from harm Show them civility. Grant them peace and calm With quiet humility. Lift them up above All the insanity, To know God’s pure love Of their humanity. Delene Edited October 12, 2011 by GBPhanatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
