On one of the LDS songwriter lists I'm on, I'm running what I call a "4x8 songwriting challenge". The game is to write four new songs in eight weeks, and once a week there are challenges that you can pick from.
A couple of weeks ago, one of the challenges was to write a song on prayer in AAA form. So, this last weekend, I wrote this one:
I Will Sing This Prayer
By Mark Hansen
The mountains all around me
Are a fortress strong and tall
The pine trees at attention
Stand as sentries on the wall
The evening wraps around me
Like I was never really there
And while the light is fading
I will sing this prayer
The city seems so quiet
Caught up in all its noise
Machines and men in motion
One builds and one destroys
The people rushing by me
Like I was never really there
And while the world is turning
I will sing this prayer
The Earth just keeps on moving
Dancing calmly on its way
Above the blue and green and white
My life just fades away
But there is one who always
Knows that I am there
And while I'm thinking of Him
I will sing this prayer
There are worlds too vast to number
But he knows I am there
So while He's thinking of me
I will sing this prayer
