Untired God

If You tire of my prayers, don’t blame me, Lord,
You are the One Who says to persevere,
I can’t imagine why You’re not sooo bored--
my praying all the same old prayers down here.

They say St. Mary loves to hear Hail Mary’s,
to listen to the words the angel said,
to feel again the thrill that never varies,
and hear His name Who’d be our Sacred Bread.

You’re never bored, You’re interested in me,
You know it’s urgent, there’s so much at stake,
You desperate want me for eternity,
You love my prayers for my sake, for God’s sake.

Since I know of my words You’ll never tire,
I pray, Lord, each one prayed meets Your desire.
