Saved Prayer

I'm saving this prayer

stashing my hope away 

in a safe place 

between blessed and desperation 

I'm saving this prayer

fearing that if I use it 

at the wrong time 

it will fall upon 

deaf ears

I'm saving this prayer

for a time Lord 

when I know you're listening 

because, right now, 

i'm in a scary place 

between blessed 

and desperation 

and if I use this prayer before 

I reach desperation....

Well, Lord, I don't have a plan B 

and well, Lord, i'm saving a prayer

because it's all I have left

you Lord, are all I have left 

and it seems that you've hidden yourself 

in a safe place, 

between blessed and desperation 

and that you Lord have lent an ear 

one too many times 

so Lord, I'm saving this prayer

because if I call out, and reach your voice mail again Father... 

I may fall far beyond 

desperation
