One Prayer

I say one prayer

Before sitting to write

That you will be there

Shedding your light

I say one prayer

Before standing to sing

That you will inhabit it

As a sweet offering

Let my heart bring praise

Let it flow, let it flow

That through my feeble ways

Your glory will show

As I sing this song

Oh, heart humbly bow

For this I simply long

You’ll be pleased some how

Even now, even now

I say one prayer

As I listen to hear

As my cross I bear

That you will draw near

I say one prayer

Before I fall asleep

That In your care

You will guide and keep

Let my heart bring praise

Let it flow, let it flow

That through my feeble ways

Your glory will show

As I sing this song

My heart humbly bows

For this I simply long

You’ll be pleased some how

Even now, even now…
