Can I Talk To You Today Oh Lord?
can I talk to you today oh Lord as if to a friend?
for that is what you told me to call You from the beginning
my Father, my Savior, my Everlasting Prince of Peace
to You I bring my burdens please give me relief
I hope that from me oh Lord You never draw away
for then I will have no one to whom I can pray
in my time of need oh Lord to you I do turn
in my despair let the spirit within me discern
rain down on me oh Lord pour out to me Your blessings
let Your abundant mercy put an end to all my stressing
let one drop of the Sacrificial Blood fall upon me
and cleanse me today so I can claim the victory
touch me this day oh Lord stretch out to me Thy hand
heal my heart and brokenness and help me to stand
stir me up this day oh Lord to satisfy Your desires
rebuke the enemy surrounding me so I can do all that you require
as I stand here today oh Lord at the altar of Thy throne
I have come to realize that I can't do it on my own
so I thank You in advance oh Lord glory to Thy name
as You continue to guide me through all my hurts and pain
so I come to you today oh Lord down on my knees
let Your grace, joy and happiness now manifest in me
