Sanctus Real - Pray

"Pray"

I bow my head to pray, I don't know what to say
I'm not sure how to fix the things I'm dealing with
I'm in a desperate place, I need to share the weight
But I just don't know how, to let it all pour out
Though I'm silent, my heart is crying
Cause I was made to come to You

So I pray
God I need You more than words can say
Right here in this moment
You know my heart, You know my need
You know every part of me
So even if it's just to speak Your name
I'm gonna pray

I failed to find the time, but You've been calling out
I let the days go by as if I could live without
But it's gotta be here now, I won't be pulled away
Cause it's just You and I, so let the world around us fade

As I pray
God I need You more than words can say
Right here in this moment
You know my heart, You know my need
You know every part of me
So even if it's just to speak Your name
I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray

(Father)
Will You meet me here right now?
(Father)
I surrender, lay it down
(Father)
And every time I close my eyes
I know that I was made
To lift my hands and pray
I lift my hands and pray

You know my heart, You know my need
And every single part of me
So even if it's just to speak Your name
I'm gonna pray
I'm gonna pray

You know my heart, You know my need
You know every part of me
More than words, You are my life

 

Jesus knows when a request comes to Him from the heart.  He has been waiting all along for us to bring our needy selves to him and receive from him that eternal water.- Doris Gailey

Often I have made a request of God with earnest pleadings even backed up with Scripture, only to have Him say, "no" because he had something better in store.  Ruth Bell Graham

Hear my cry for help, my King and my God.  For to you I pray. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.  Psalm 5:2-3

There is no mode of life in the world more pleasing and more full of delight than continual conversations with God.  Brother Lawrence

Prayer changes things, but it also changes us.  In the very act of prayer, we open ourselves to the will of another- God.  Gloria Gaither

People who pray are no more saints than the rest of us.  Rather, they are people who want to share a life with God, to love and be loved, to speak and to listen, to work and to be at rest in the presence of God.  Roberta Bondi
