By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me…a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:8 NIV
Dear God, I kneel before you now,
My heart is prostrate too.
I yield my thoughts, I cast my cares,
That I may hear from you.
A moment just the two of us,
A conversation share.
Reveal a Father’s love for me,
While on my knees in prayer.
In silence I will wait for you,
But yet, you beat me here.
A Daddy longs his children close,
Delights to have them near.
It’s not my eloquence of words,
Or list my tears prepare.
But heaven stops to hear a child,
Who comes to him in prayer.
A child’s faith can tug his heart,
A father hears their need.
See mountains move with faith the size,
As small a mustard seed.
You know my words before I speak,
My needs you’re so aware.
But yet you beckon me to ask,
While on my knees in prayer.
I thank you for my daily bread,
Each meal you’ve given me.
No lack, but full my cupboards are,
Though empty I might see.
Oh stir my appetite for you,
Dear Lord, I tarry there.
That place to hunger for your love,
Please satisfy my prayer.
Where two are gathered in your name,
You’re here for us, for me.
Oh Lord we listen for your voice,
In patience wait for Thee.
My simple words this child speaks,
For more of you I dare.
A Father runs to hear his child,
Who folds their hands in prayer.
No matter what the age we are,
A child to God are we.
Such gifts a Father wants to give,
If wait for Him to see.
Present to You a child’s heart,
Sweet hands I cast my care.
So loved I feel in your embrace,
While on my knees in prayer.
…but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.
Psalm 66:19 NIV
