Simple Devotions: To Stand in the Gap

To Stand in the Gap

Is there anyone to stand in the Gap today?

Is there anyone full of Mercy to pray?

For the week and unloved of this land?

Is there anyone who in their heart truly can?

To pray for the beggar on the street.

Who is alone and just want something to eat.

To extend Mercy without condemnation,

Can we stand in the gap for their situation?

Is there anyone to stand in the gap with love?

To extend the hand of a Savior from above?

Do we pray for our enemies restoration?

Or do we rejoice in their condemnation?

God calls us to love all men and forgive.

To restore and teach truth as we live.

To stand in the gap providing a way

For those who are lost as we pray.

We have a world void of the truth.

And yes, some teach lies to our youth.

But instead of hatred over all that they do,

Can we pray for changed hearts and point of view?

It's a higher call for those of us who know him,

The Savior who died for all men.

It's not ours to condemn or scoff,

But to stand in the gap for the Lost.

To pray for each soul that we seem,

That we can share how to live free.

Going through the darkness with them,

Holding their hand with God's love within.

Is there anyone out there willing to stand?

To be that bridge to extend God's hand?

To love others the way God does,

And stand in the gap with his unending love.
