When should you pray,
throughout each day.
In the light and at night,
In the dark or at day’s spark.
With great courage or in fear,
When He seems far or near.
When life’s unfair, caught in its snare,
or if you’re as free as you can be.
Each moment of every hour,
When weak, or filled with power.
In joyful praise, all your days,
Even in gloom, when dark clouds loom.
On your knees or on your feet,
Feeling empty or complete.
You should pray, when you stay,
Tell Him so – as you go.
Wide awake or sleeping fast,
About the future, especially the past.
With words few or all you do,
Speaking your fill or sitting still.
If you are asleep or wide awake,
When you can give or when others take.
In your aches and bodily quakes,
or feeling strong, like you can’t go wrong.
Head bowed in reverent grace,
Or eyes lifted to outer space.
Mirred in sin again and again,
Or living well forgot when you fell.
Each breath out and each breath in,
On your way or once you’ve been.
Getting close to sad or glad,
Feeling full or like a fool.
That is the time you should share your heart,
All together or coming apart,
When the pain drives you insane,
Or feeling good like you should.
There is no time when you should not,
Give the Lord all you’ve got,
Empty your heart and tear it apart,
To be filled and in His love sealed.
Let it be a covering, removing the sting, of life’s zing,
your offering, the song you sing, and praise you bring,
about everything, a way to cling, to the King.
This is prayer, it is life, it is worship;
it is God’s Glory revered as it should be.
