I Heard a Forest Praying

I heard a forest praying

The trees were cold and bare.

What was the forest praying?

Let me repeat their prayer.

Trees make a playground for children

Trees hide a lovers lane.

Shelter the tired and the weary,

Bringing them hope again.

Man turned the fields and the forest

Into a battlefield grim.

Men took a tree, an innocent tree

And made a cross for Him.

I heard a forest praying.

I heard the heavens weep.

Just as the dawn was breaking,

And night was gone to sleep.
