Those Words....Called Prayers I Don't expect You fall down on your knees I Don't expect You give up Your day... I Don't expect You think I'm a bother When I ask for You to Pray... I could write and endless list Of names you would not know... Explain each need and beg for prayers And this list would steadily grow. It would seem so impersonal Of how I would ask this from you... So here is a little story line Of what I am going to do... Instead of falling to your knees Or hanging your head in prayer... I ask you sit a moment And ask the Lord to draw near... There is something you must say to Him So many things you must discuss... Like a child to their Father In Him you must trust... Just say what's in your heart today Forget the fancy prayers... Praying is just talking to God Say what you need for Him to hear... Father I have to ask you this I really need your Touch... So many People are suffering Who need You now so much... There is a Mother dying And a Father who is so ill... An Aunt and Uncle growing old With a battle all up hill... Sons and daughters are battling for life Each and everyday... And in despair they reach to You... Hoping You hear them Pray... Children suffer throughout the land Poverty ravages souls... Bodies and Minds left broken As evil tightens it's hold... So, Father I am talking to you Some would call it a prayer... Look down on them and with a healing touch Draw them ever near... I Don't expect You fall down on your knees I Don't expect You give up Your day... I Don't expect You think I'm a bother When I ask for You to Pray... Just say what's in your heart today Forget the fancy prayers... Praying is just talking to God Say what you need for Him to hear...   Pam Gallo 2007 Copyright
