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 in my heartbeat,
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...
When I struggle to find even one word to say
you know long before I
what my soul wants to pray...
Though my heart find no words
you hear in its silence
the prayer I've been longing to speak...
When my prayer tumbles out, all jumbled and tossed,
you know precisely
what my heart intends...
When I can't hear your voice
I trust that your silence
is your first reply to my prayer...
You search my heart, Lord, you read my mind,
you know my plea
before I pray...
So here's what I need to remember, Lord,
here's what I cannot forget:
just
I need to remember this, Lord:
just to sit in your presence, in silence,
just to sit by your side is a prayer...
Amen.
