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
