There’s a prayer that carries
Power and weight
Yet uttered is not a word.
It’s the anguished pain
That falls from one’s eyes
The prayer of the voiceless heard.
It’s a prayer that moves mountains
And touches God’s heart
When empty of pride, only raw.
The groanings and sighs
Embedded down deep
That gives the Christ a cause.
It’s likened to rain
That drops to the ground
Yet speaks of inner fears.
The sound of drops falling
That catch Heaven’s gaze
And moves majestic tears.
Such a quiet scream
As one falls, then more
That pierce the soul of God.
It’s the cry of His child
He hears in the night
A prayer of tears that call.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Romans 8:26
