John Posey Poet Dramatic Verse

Searching For New Praise

A Prayer Of Jacob

This, Lord Jesus is my goal --- to discover a
single word of praise not spoken since that 
time so long ago you took my place. My Lord,
I seek so hard to find that unique
phrase or choice of words not spoken until
they pass my lips in praise of you. I search
for some unsung song that is mine alone
to give. Even though the passion in my heart is
known to you, still I long to sing your glory
in tones unused before. My love for you 
looks for expression in phrases that are not
worn by ages of overuse, no matter how
sincere their intent. Precious Savior, it is
not special favor that I seek, but only to still
this anxious heart. Lord, hear me, even as I search.

Brenda Meier-Hans September 28, 2014 at 3:00 PM I know what you mean Jake. Sometimes when I'm deep in thought spiritually, I feel as if I hear a song not sung yet, something so precious and special our tongues cannot wrap around the words. I pray that someday I will be there singing the new song. You will probably like the song of praise I wrote lately I do have the music in my head for this one. It's called Song of Praise.
