My Prayer to You


How do I pray to someone I can't see?
At times I feel Your presence,
but so often my words to You are empty.

You know the depth of my heart's cry.
You know when I sin,
and every time I question why.

So please listen to my heart
and understand when words fail me.
It's not that we're so far apart,
but I know I'm not as close as I want to be.

Teach me to want to pray
and how to say
the words you long to hear.
Creator of the universe, Lover of my soul,
I know that You are near.

So please listen to my heart,
as I strain to hear the beat of Your own.
May there be nothing in me to drive us apart.
Make my heart Your throne.
