Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 11/15

I know the drill, Lord - we've been here before, you and I...

 

There's a grace that comes out of nowhere,

    an incentive, a sudden notion, a desire, a strength

to clean up, clear out and bring order 

    to some room or space in my life...

 

Last night I began, then, to plow through my study

    and I'll finish the work this morning.

I've sorted and pitched, I've tossed and bagged

    what I've no need to save or hold on to;

I've arranged and collected, I've filed and boxed

    any treasures deserving safe keeping...

 

Thanks for the nudge and the push, Lord,

    there's a freedom that comes from an ordered space

but my study is hardly your primary interest,

    my heart's the room you'd have me attend to,

    my mind's the workspace in disarray,

    my soul's the space in need of your grace

        and the calm of its peaceful order...

 

It's time to do some fall cleaning, Lord,

    in the yard, in my room, in my heart;

let the power of your Spirit blow strong and free 

    deep within and all 'round me

to refresh and clean and bring good order

    to my soul, my life and my prayer...

 

Amen.

Is there room in your heart 

For a wanderer 

Is there bread on your table 

That I can eat 

Do you keep a coffee pot 

Do you keep an open lock 

Is there room in your heart for me 

 

Is there space in your day 

For an honest talk 

Is there any break at all 

You have free 

Tell me, do you have the time 

Would you mind if I stop by 

Is there room in your heart for me 

 

I wanna talk to you 

I want to hear all your cares 

I wanna comfort you 

I wanna catch all your tears 

 

Are you worried I’ll find 

What a mess you’ve made 

Is there something inside 

You don’t want me to see 

Are you scared that I might judge 

All the stains you can’t clean up 

Is there room in your heart for me 

 

I wanna talk to you, 

I want to hear all your cares 

I want to comfort you, 

I want to catch all your tears 

I want to show you that 

I am the friend that you need

Is there room in your heart for me
