INFINITE BUT INTIMATE, THE GOD OF PRAYER



INFINITE BUT INTIMATE, THE GOD OF PRAYER!

I Chronicles 29:10-13

WHEN MY VOICE LIFTS HEAVENWARD
     ECHOING THROUGH LONELY SPACE,
I RETRACE THE PATH MY LORD
     USED, SAVING ME BY HIS GRACE.

YOU SEE, HE IS WAY OUT THERE,
     INFINITE AND TRANSCENDENT,
BUT REACHABLE BY MY PRAYER…..
     BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT GRACE MEANT.


WHEN MY WHISPERS REACH HIS EAR,
     NESTLED IN HIS LOVING CARE,
WARMLY LOVED AS HIS CHILD DEAR…..
     JUST A THOUGHT BECOMES A PRAYER.

YOU SEE, HE HOLDS ME RIGHT HERE,
     INTIMATE AND MOST PRESENT,
ON HIS LAP, A FATHER DEAR…..
     HELD SNUG, HIS LOVING INTENT.

WHEN BY FAITH I FIND HIM THERE,
     THROUGH CHRIST WHO TO CALV'RY WENT;         AS HIS CHILD I KNOW HE CARES
      AND GIVES ME WARM BLESSINGS SENT.

YOU SEE, PRAYER REACHES HIM THERE,
     INSISTENT AND CONFIDENT,
AND HE COMES TO ME RIGHT HERE…..
     OUR TIME INTIMATELY SPENT.
