There are days when I just can't pray My heart and soul feel like they're so cold I can't reach out, penetrate the darkness With a light from my dreams, a feeling A belief in the hope God brings when He Caresses the thoughts with His kindness Blessings that come from such enlightenment! There are moments when I can't cry out To the One who holds my dreams in His palm The One who paints the rainbow in the sky The One who always reminds me just why I must reach beyond my pain and find a way To appeal to Him with my faith, my prayer For serenity and sincerity, a wisdom, a chance To listen to His reply and hope with a heart That believes and agrees - He is the only way He is the confirmation of my heart's faith He is the whisper of kindness when I pray He is the answer to every problem I've known The resolution to every worry I might have The verdict to every misgiving in my plan There are times when I can't be sure why I have been given this life - this insight This joy and peace - wisdom and grace This feeling that believes in this God Who brings me through the darkest storms The deepest tragedies, the horrors The risks and sorrows and discouragements The shame and despair, all the troubles Sometimes so unfair - living on a prayer That I might not even be able to voice But, my heart speaks the need, the plea There are times when I just can't reveal The need that fills my spirit with a prayer It is a gentle petition, summoning the Lord With all His light and love - His majesty As praise fills up my soul and I know, above all, That He is the One who knows my heart And I only need the thought - to assure He will hear my entreaty and answer me With a loving confirmation that I will always be His child, His friend, His miracle from heaven! There are times when I can't even pray But even then, I can find the way to say God is my Father and I praise Him alway!
