An Unspoken Request

The preacher got up and Said stand to your feet
We'll start with a prayer If you have a need
Let it be heard, saints Let it be known We're all family And you're not alone

That's when he saw her In the back of the church
Her silence and sadness Cried out the hurt
The kind shepherd knew Just what to say I need to know Before we pray
An unspoken request Does anybody have One here tonight
If you come with a burden You can share A need in your life
Just lift up your hand To the one who can Give you rest
Child have no fear Our God can hear An unspoken request
Well the preacher whispered As she raised her hand
Sweet holy spirit Come by her and stand
When her tears started flowing He had no doubt
That in the throne room of heaven Her secret was out
