I was thinking of the things I’d ask God about The worries and the dreams Seas alive with feelings Colored in hues of melancholy Dread whispering to my heart Listen to the fear, bend an ear While I longed to hear the One Who saved me by His Love, His Son, the One who I base My entire life on – King of Kings Prince of Peace – The Savior The One who I sincerely believe I was just thinking of all the many things I needed to ask my Father for The little things like hope and peace Much bigger things like faith and grace I couldn’t think for the way I prayed From my soul, my spirit, with my will I prayed from with the most sincere Love that I could have given, love Filled with sincerity and serenity Love that was alive with tenderness Lifted my mind from its deepest grief Raised my hopes from the mire of doubt Shadowed my thoughts in praise that shouts I just thought of all the things I needed to say All the praying that my heart could pray And there were answers calling to my heart Answers that calmed and comforted, brought me Peace that I couldn’t’ hope to have collected Hope and joy – wonder that reassured me Reminded me why I can always trust the presence Of the Holy Spirit who is here to guide me To abide with me even when I don’t do everything In a way that agrees with Him… He still stays Alive on the inside where He loves me like His child Leaves me a hope that is beyond my wildest dreams For grace that lights up the entire spirit With a song, a psalm, a hymn… alive with Him Filling me with praise and promise, prayers That are answered before I even dare to breathe With the hope that they might be satisfied for me He answers my prayers before I even speak He lights up my heart with the glory of a love That warms my nature and brightens my soul He is more alive to me than the whispers of my mind Penetrating my every fiber with kindness, love That is beyond my wondering, brighter than fire Flowing through my dreams, wild as the wildest dance Claiming my heart and soul, my worship for eternity Because He is the One who makes my entire life worth it! Listen to His love and praise God above He is the answer to every need, the grace That comforts, the joy that fulfills The sweetness of a Savior who brings to me All the hope, faith and love I’ll ever be needing! With all my praise… I continue to pray For the grace to meet each day, the love To light the way so I can always say Jesus is the One who I will always praise! Isaiah 65:24 - King James Version 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
