His Wonder
by Emily Richards (RillRiver Publishing)

There, just past my window
There, out in the snow
There, under a street lamp
Is a woman suffering her load

Of loneliness, of circumstance
Of helplessness, all alone
His wonder, where is His wonder
For a woman all on her own

I observe but do nothing
Watch her pain from afar
Commiseration flows in me
Why am I frozen when I share in

Her loneliness, her odds with chance
Her helplessness, all alone
His wonder, where is His wonder
For a woman all on her own

Father send us your angels
Send your peace tonight
Father deliver your comfort
Bathe us all in your light

There out in the darkness
There under a cobalt sky
Are there answers to despair
On this and all Christmas nights

The loneliness, worldly dominance
The helplessness, all alone
His wonder, where is His wonder
For a world all on our own

Father, Father
Father send us your wonder
Father, Father, Father
