O Father Dear, What Can I Say? A Prayer.

What Can I Say? A Prayer
O Father Dear, What Can I Say?

O Father Dear, what can I say

As here before thy throne I pray

So, humbled by majestic Grace

As glorious joy fills this space

 

O Sovereign Lord, my Righteous King

Your Love doth make my heart to sing

You drew me near, salvation’s song

And bid me leave the earthly throng

 

That I might sit a while with you

Though silence may at times ensue

Yet, in the quiet time I feel

Your strength and love, You do instill

 

And quiet then, my restless heart

Doth long to stay and ne’er depart

Oh, how I wish that I could stay

Right here with You through each long day

 

You bid for me to then arise

To run and tell, this world apprise

Of all that You have done for me

You took my sin, and set me free

 

From all the chains that bound me tight

Desires and fears, the lonely night

So, counterfeit the joys they brought

Until it was thy Word I sought

 

So, Father dear, I now must go

To spread Your truth, your words to sow

As I arise to face this day

I bid You, Lord my hands to stay

 

Without Your strength, I will but stray

By Words I do, or things I say

So, this is all I ask of You

Please, let Your Love and Grace shine through

 

Cast all my selfish will aside

With all its anger, foolish pride

Upon a cross there crucify

My ego, self; oh, let it die

 

Let then Your glory shine through me

For all this broken world to see

How precious is thy love and grace!

Open their eyes to seek thy face.

Thought

How wonderful it is to sit alone with God, even if you have nothing to say. Just to sit in His presence is enough.
