Prayer comes, Lord,
when I put my foot on the brake
and pull off life's highway,
when I step aside from my schedule
and make some time to be still,
when I clear some space in my mind
and find a place in the chapel of my heart
and wait upon your presence...
And waiting can be the hard part...
I know you're there, by my side
but I wait to see you,
not with my eyes but with my heart...
I wait to hear you,
not with my ears but in your word...
I wait for your touch,
not on my skin but on my soul...
I wait for your presence beside me, around me,
and especially within me:
and especially within me:
and your presence, Lord, is a fine mist,
translucent, spun of the Spirit's breath,
it's a soft but steady light
glowing in the shadows of my heart,
burning with a warmth my soul desires...
And though I wait to find you, Lord,
I know that first
I know that first
- it's you who waits for me...
You wait all day
You wait all day
`for me to call upon your name...
You wait for me to slow my step
`and find you by my side...
You wait for me
to nod in your direction,
to tip my grateful heart towards you,
to open my soul's windows to your grace...
You wait for me
with help for this day's problems...
You wait for me
with mercy for my failings...
You wait for me
with healing for my bruises...
You wait for me
with peace to ease my sorrow...
You wait for me
with light to fill my darkness...
You wait for me
with grace to bless my nights...
You wait for me
to make some time and find a place
where I might rest
and wait for you...
You love me while I wait for you
who wait for me
with loving, open arms...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.
