Words of My Prayer – v2

Words of my prayer
that I lift up to God
as I enter Your Word
that I would be given words
for my heart, and words to share;

Words to stop and ponder
to remember Christ’s sacrifice
that we are made in God’s image;
but we are made of clay.

That God doesn’t make junk
but we make a mess, chaos
walking away from God
my clay lost in the world
wallowing in the mud.

Where I should be, who I belong to
the simple message of grace
a vessel chipped, but made empty
these words pouring out of me
of God’s love, His grace.

Ready for the next blessing
for words to come to me, that God loves us,
this is my prayer, that God would use me
yes, Lord, even me, that I would keep writing.

As You tell me to do, when I listen,
when my mind finds stillness
hearing Your voice clearly
calling to me, to write to share
these Words of my prayer.
