We Gather and Pray - Re-posted

We called upon Him, all as one,
To hear His children’s cries
And heal us from the sins that we
Have lived, but should despise.
 
We asked that He would guide the lost,
And give the sick new life.
We prayed for peace to touch the earth
Now scarred by pain and strife.
 
We thanked Him for each day we’ve lived
And for the joy we’ve known.
The hopes we hold for tomorrow
From today’s seeds we’ve sown.
 
We lifted up a song of praise
That He was with us there,
Fulfilling His promise to join
When we gather in prayer.
 
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
