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
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
I bring willing words and one heart (?)
Take it as an offering

  1. The poem / song struck a nerve. A beautiful reminder to slow down and pray.

  2. I haven't heard of this song yet, it's beautiful. As I listened through it, I feel like I let my fear get in the way of my trust. It should never out weigh what give to the Lord. This portion of the lyrics " 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 love the part about "Right here in this moment, you know my heart you know my need" Because it's so true HE ALWAYS DOES. And when we pause and remember oh yeah I am not alone, we need to know He is always there, He knows our struggle.

  3. I like how the lyrics capture the times when we don't know what to pray, or how to pray. How wonderful that we have prayers written down for us that encompass all of our needs! The Lord's Prayer is perfect for this.

  4. How totally appropriate for this year of prayer as well as the sad year I am having. My default setting in my mind is to pray. I even find myself praying for characters in a movie sometimes! That being said, this year, I have had a hard time finding words that cover the depth of my heart. Thank you for this song. It was beautiful and fed my soul.
