PRAYER FOR SHANNON

Mass Choir Gospel — slow, powerful, building into a full choir praise

Father, we come before You,

Not asking for silver, not asking for gold.

We’re standing together for one of Your daughters.

Lord, tonight we’re calling her name…

Shannon.

When she doesn’t have the words to pray,

We’ll pray for her.

When she doesn’t have the strength to stand,

We’ll stand with her.

Lord, hear our prayer…

Lord, hear our prayer…

We’re calling Shannon’s name.

Jesus, hear our prayer.

⸻

Verse 1 — Lead

God, give Shannon peace in her mind,

Quiet every storm raging inside.

When her thoughts get heavy

And the answers are hard to find,

Wrap Your arms around her, Jesus,

And give her peace of mind.

Give her strength when she feels weak,

Give her words when she cannot speak.

And when she feels like she can’t take another step,

Remind her, Lord,

You haven’t left her yet.

Give her peace!

Give her strength!

Hold her close,

And keep her safe!

⸻

Chorus — Full Choir

We’re praying for Shannon!

Lord, give her peace of mind.

We’re praying for Shannon!

Give her strength for the mountains she must climb.

Heal every hurt,

Dry every tear,

Let her know that You are near.

We’re praying for Shannon!

Jesus, make her whole again!

Sopranos: Make her whole!

Altos: Give her peace!

Tenors: Give her strength!

Full Choir: LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER!

⸻

Verse 2 — Lead

Father, touch the pain in her stomach,

Lay Your healing hand upon her now.

Give wisdom to those who care for her,

And bring her comfort somehow.

Where there is pain, bring relief.

Where there is fear, give her belief.

Restore her body, restore her soul,

Touch Shannon, Jesus,

And make her whole.

Heal her, Lord!

Touch her, Lord!

Strengthen her, Lord!

Restore her, Lord!

⸻

Verse 3 — Lead

God, give Shannon vision,

Let her see beyond today.

When she comes to a crossroads,

Lord, illuminate the way.

Give her wisdom in her decisions,

Give her courage to choose what is right.

Don’t let yesterday blind her tomorrow;

Lead her from darkness into light.

Show her the way!

Order her steps!

Guide every decision!

Don’t let her walk alone!

⸻

Verse 4 — Lead

And Father, for her children,

Let the love inside her flow.

Teach her how each child needs to receive it,

And give her the wisdom to know.

Where one needs patience, give her patience.

Where one needs comfort, help her understand.

Where one needs correction, give her wisdom,

And where one needs holding,

Put love in Shannon’s hands.

Let every child know,

“My mama loves me.”

Let every child feel,

“My mama sees me.”

Let every child believe,

“There’s a place in her heart for me.”

Pour out the love!

Pour out the love!

Give her enough for every child!

Pour out the love!
