THE SHUT-INS PRAYER
(Jimmy Martin / Paul Williams)
And sailed down the milky way
It peeked through an old front window
Where a lonely shut-in lay
Each star seemed to nod it's head
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said
I earnestly pray to thee
And my prayer, oh Lord, was thou answered
And lay a healing hand on me
And I've been a shut-in so long
I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus
And still in my heart a song
And no diamonds to call my own
Just give me that touch of healing
I'm so weak and all alone
Of thy heavenly wealth
When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee
Just give me back my health
Yes, God heard what the shut-in said
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
God heard what the shut-in said
