My Little Prayer

IT'S NOW AGAIN THE MORNING
AND MY PRAYERS ARE BEING SAID
IT'S BETTER 'CAUSE I'M WIDE AWAKE
NOT HALF ASLEEP IN BED

MY PRAYERS ARE LONG, THEY MUST INCLUDE
EVERY HURT AND STRIFE
THAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY CARRY
DOWN THIS ROAD WE ALL CALL LIFE

AFTER THANKS AND ADORATION
AND CONFESSING ALL MY SINS
AND ASKING GOD'S FORGIVENESS
FOR ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN

I SAY A SPECIAL LITTLE PRAYER
TO HIM WHO'LL ALWAYS BE
SO CLOSE A FRIEND I'LL EVER WANT
MY WEAKNESS HE WILL SEE

"WRAP TIGHT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME LORD
ALL DAY IF YOU PLEASE"
AND IF I MUST CRY OUT TODAY
I'LL NEED ONLY TO SAY "SQUEEZE"

GOD SPEAKS

EVEN WHEN I'M IN THE WAY
GOD KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
HE'S HOPING THAT I'LL STILL OBEY
AND MOVE EVENTUALLY

IN MOVING LIES THE PROBLEM
THE WAY TO GO UNCLEAR
I NEED TO MASTER GOD'S INTENT
TO LISTEN AND TO HEAR

ARE HIS WORDS SOFT AND SUDDLE?
DO I HEAR HIM WHEN HE SPEAKS?
SOME SAY THEY HEAR HIM LOUD AND STRONG
MY FAITH MUST BE SO WEAK

FOR WHEN I'D STOP TO LISTEN
AND PRAY HE'D SPEAK TO ME
I HEARD A DEADLY SILENCE
THAT BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES

THEN, THAT IS WHEN IT HAPPENED
I'D BEEN FOOLISH FROM THE START
GOD DOESN'T SPEAK INTO OUR EARS
HE SPEAKS INTO OUR HEART.
