There is precedent for pleading
so I’m pleading now,
though I know I don’t even
own the voice I plead with,
though I know Your truth
informs my every thought

There is precedent for pleading
so I’m pleading now —
Lord, there are so many of us
who will be lifted by this light,
so much hope conferred
in this simple proof.
Show me the way.
Cause me to understand.
