~~~
If you feel a strong need
For the Lord to be there,
But have never partaken
In the practice of prayer -

~~~
You don't need a talent
For well-chosen words
For the needs of your heart
By the Lord to be heard.



~~~
So with trust, cast aside
Shortcomings and fears;
The Lord's always ready
To dry bitter tears.

~~~
Sweet peace will unfold
As you follow the path
To total elation
And joys that can last.
