Try to Pray

Knees bent, head bowed, hands clasped
I try to pray
But what do I say
Where do I start
What if I do it wrong
Is there a wrong way to pray?
What if I come across all wrong
Will He doubt me?
Do I talk or just confess
Plead for mercy or just sit
Lost in all of my questions
What if I make Him promises
Then take them back
Surely He'll get mad at me
But will He trust me enough
To forgive me again
Maybe I should
Just read the Bible instead
That is worship
But not a relationship with God
Everyone has to have one
So I need to work on mine
But what if I say something wrong
What if He doesn't believe me?
What if, What if, What if?
That's all I can seem to think
How is this going to help
Me grow in Christ?
Simple actually, it won't...
God loves me
Why didn't I remember that?
I need Him
No doubts about it
So I shouldn't worry
He made me with great care
So why in my time of need
Would he turn His back on me?
He won't
So once again I bow my head
And try to pray
And this time I let it all go
For I believe that prayer
Is the most powerful form of worship
And like I said, He loves me
So no worries

Why

I keep asking myself Why does he love me?  Me of all people? But then I ask, why do I love him? And why can't I see myself without him? Why has my life changed to revolve solely around him? All of these questions and I have no answers No reasons as to why I guess we'll just never know This raises another question How do we stay together? I guess because we know what we have is real I am sure you are asking How can we be sure of that? I say because of our experience and intuition Tells us it can be All of these unanswered questions Stir conflict from time to time But we have learned that after The things we didn't mean to say have settled And we have long forgotten The things we didn't mean to do The only thing that remains Is our love for one another And I believe that is enough To thrive on for the rest of our lives

Do Feel

Inside I feel as if we are falling apart And I am the one to blame I don't know if you have sensed it But this is the way I feel I try to stop it You know I love you But I feel as if you are slipping through my fingers And away from my heart I feel helpless and useless There is nothing I can do or say To stop these feelings from coming But I guess that I should feel lucky That my heart still feels at all

Not Him

I sing the hymns, they sound so sweet They touch the deepest parts of me So tell me why I think about you And not Him I hear a voice that sounds so near 'I love you' is what it says So tell me why I hear you And not Him I picture walking through those pearly gates Following the golden roads So tell me why I'm walking with you And not Him At times I feel so lonely I call out for help and strength So tell me while I call to you And not Him He is supposed to be put first in my life But somehow he seems to fall second So tell my why my number one is you And not Him I try to love Him But I feel as if I'd be abandoning you So tell me why I'm telling you And not Him I've tried to explain Why you seem to mean so much more I figure I've just grown Too dependent of your love So somehow I will have to make it up to Him For I will not be ashamed of showing my love to you And not Him
