Prayer

How often, in life’s busy day,
Do we find time to stop and pray?
Though if you knew how prayer could please,
You’d spend more time upon your knees.
Prayer thanks the Lord for all His love,
Brings every blessing from above,
Helps us all, temptation fight,
Brings peace and calm into the night.
Prayer makes each darkened day seem bright,
Brings Heaven’s kingdom into sight,
Pours down on us the gift of grace,
And seats us in a heavenly place.
Prayer heals the conflicts of our soul,
Helps us achieve our heavenly goal,
Strengthens faith, helps us be kind,
Brings the purest wisdom to our mind.
Now do you see what prayer can bring?
When prayer becomes your spiritual pleasure,
You’ll know the worth of Heaven’s treasure.

I love You So

O Father in Heaven, I love You so,
I will sing Your praise forever!
I want to tell the world about Your love,
And share with them my treasure.
I want to capture each moment of the day
And consecrate it all to You,
That not a moment of my life may be wasted,
Nor anything I should do.
I call out Your name with every heartbeat,
I whisper it in every breath.
I will hold You within my heart forever,
Then embrace You in my death.

Your will be done

Lord, let me know Your will for me,
Let me praise You every hour.
Let me feel Your spirit move me,
And be subject to Your power.

Let me serve You here below,
Fulfilling every task,
Surrendering myself to You,
Observing all You ask.

Let me toil in endless labour,
Or be laid aside to just be still.
Let me preach Your Gospel boldly,
Or submit quietly to Your will.

Show me how to be obedient,
How to spend my days in prayer.
Make me humble before my neighbours,
Teach me how to love and care.

Grant to me the grace to suffer,
Faith that I may always stand sure.
Give me hope to seek Your kingdom,
A heart to love and serve the poor.

When my earthly life is over,
Receive this humbled soul of mine
To Your throne in heavenly splendour,
That I may adore You for all time.
