Darkness falls around me,
the shadows are long and mysterious,
The enemy’s getting closer,
my desperate situation’s getting serious,
The ground itself reaches up, and entangles my feet
My pace is getting slower at every loud heart beat.

I need some encouragement right now
You know I’m feeling weak now
Please pray for me, with all your might,
Lord, help me to love you with all my might
I need some prayer

After the long night,
the morning never started to break,
I know what I need,
the comforting peace that the Lord makes,
You know I can’t wait,
for that joy to start to come
Please, Oh, Jesus,
interrupt this endless night with Your Son

I need some encouragement right now
You know I’m feeling weak now
Please pray for me, with all your might,
Lord, help me to love you with all my might
I need some prayer




As often happened with my earliest doubting “songs”, I returned to this one a few months later and added the following lines:

“Ah! I see the Light breaking —
Ah! I know the Lord is here! He’s here!

I got some encouragement just now
You know I’m feelin’ strong now
You prayed for me with all your might
Lord, you know I love you with all my might”
