I beg you, Lord, to intercede,
to bear the weight of all who need
to lay their burdens down and rest.
For those who from life's harsh blows bleed,
I kneel before your feet to plead.
Some simply have not strength nor speed
to find a place 'mongst those who lead.
For those who must concede this test,
I beg you, Lord.
For those who sowed their fields with seeds
but find their crops have choked on weeds,
who find no prize at end of quest,
who falter though they've done their best,
who bend and bruise like tender reeds,
I beg you, Lord.
