Prayer Space

I find that I must make some space to pray,
I’m busy, my time’s at a premium,
besides I often don’t know what to say,
except “Our Father” and “Thy Kingdom come.”

If I can’t find time, I have to take time,
and prayer must be more than just words by rote,
it’s conversation with Someone sublime,
when sometimes words get stuck within my throat.

Who seeks someone to see inside their soul?
And to face God, I have to first face me,
to pray well I must give God some control,
He might make me review my destiny.

It may not be the space of time I need,
but power for my soul I can’t concede.
