Our Prayer for "Hoss"




He doesn't know his worth
Wears the saddest smile on earth
But he denies it
Love is reaching out to him
But he won't let it in
He defies it
He defies it

Refrain
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break him please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together

He thinks that he's alone
I have walked the road the he's on
And I know he's searching
Looking everywhere but up
He can't fill his empty cup
So he keeps hurting
He keeps hurting

Refrain
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together
Help him please
He's not on his knees...
Yet

That is such a poignant reminder/call to prayer!

What a powerful song. I know if it were my son I couldn't listen to this without crying. The most beautiful word in that whole song, though, is the word "yet." Your boy will be on his knees... hugs, love, prayer, to you all!
