Unspoken Request

Unspoken Request by The McKameys

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”

But 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?
Did 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.

An unspoken request-
Does anybody have one here tonight?
Did 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.

Child, have no fear,
Our God can hear an unspoken request.
