My Prayer
Transformative Prayers: A Journey from Silence to Grace
Lyrics
Fresh page, new pen
Fresh start, new beginning
Where do I begin?
Uncertain where to start
Words fail, tears come
Unable to express in words, tears flow
I need someone
Seeking someone for support
To take the thoughts I almost think
Looking for help to articulate unspoken thoughts
And carry them to God for me
Requesting assistance to convey thoughts to God
Deep breath, exhale
Take a deep breath, exhale
Breathe in deeper still
Inhale even more deeply
Long sigh, I'm still numb
Feeling emotionally numb
Is there anyone
Seeking someone who understands
Who can find the things I'm barely feeling
Looking for someone to perceive hidden emotions
And give them wings beyond my ceiling?
Desiring someone to elevate emotions beyond limits
Right heart, wrong place
Heart in the right place, but misplaced
It's too far to outer space
Feeling too distant, like outer space
Sorry, I forgot, You're right here
Apology for forgetting God's presence
I cup my hands around Your ear
Symbolic gesture of reaching out to God
I feel you smile, You feel my breath
Mutual connection, God's joy and the person's breath
You listen while I whisper non-sense
God listens to nonsensical whispers
Simple exchange
Simple communication
Your will, I'm changed
Surrendering to God's will, leading to change
And now my prayer ends
Prayer concludes
Thank You, Amen, Amen
Expressing gratitude and concluding with "Amen"
