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
