I need to remember this, Lord:
just to sit in your presence, in silence,
is a prayer...
To find a quiet place,
to remember you are near:
this is a prayer...
To sit in the stillness,
to ponder the mystery:
this is a prayer...
To take a deep breath,
to inhale your peace:
this is a prayer...
To hear my heart beat,
the pulse of your presence:
this is a prayer...
To close my eyes to the world around,
to open my heart to you within,
this is a prayer...
To open my hands, let go my worry
and wait to be filled:
this is a prayer...
Though my heart find no words,
you hear my silence,
in the stillness, close by your side...
When I struggle to find even one word to say
you know before I
what my soul wants to pray...
When my prayer spills out jumbled,
you know precisely,
all that my heart intends...
When I can't hear your voice
I trust that your silence
begins to answer my prayer...
You read my mind and all my thoughts;
you search my heart, its sorrows and joys;
you know my plea before I pray...
I need to remember this, Lord:
just to sit in your presence, in silence,
is a prayer...
