Standing in the Gap & Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop 52

Standing in the Gap

This week our two younger boys and I have participated in a mission trip to one of our youth camps. We’ve been very busy, painting, peeling, building, and tearing down. Hiking, kayaking, eating, singing and hanging out.  We met new friends, and even reacquainted with a dear old one from my last life. It’s been good.

One evening, a new friend shared a worship talk with us that impressed me. The read this poem, that gave me pause for thought. She also has three boys, although hers are grown and out of the nest. Still, as a mom, her boys are never far from her thoughts and prayers. I understand that. 

I want to print this out to hang in my bedroom where I’ll remember this when I pray. Maybe you will find something to inspire you too. 😊   Fill in the blank for whomever you pray for.  For me, it’s sons.

I’ll Stand In the Gap

I’ll stand in the gap for my son.
I’ll stand ‘till the victory’s won.
This one thing I know
That you love Him so,
And your work with my child is not done.

I’ll stand in the gap every day,
And there I will fervently pray;
And Lord just one favor
Don’t let me waver
If things get quite rough, which they may.

I’ll never give up on that boy.
Nor will You, for You promised him joy.
For I know it was true
When he said ”Yes” to You,
Though the enemy seeks to destroy.

I’ll not quit as I intercede,
For You are His Savior, indeed!
Though it may take years,
I give You my fears,
As I trust every moment I plead.

And so in the gap I will stand,
Heeding Your every command,
With help from above,
I’ll unconditionally love,
And soon He will reach for Your hand.
