Jesus Knocks

 

 

When I'm lonely at night and I can't see the light
And I feel there is no one to care
I can feel at my heart's door He's knocking as before
Saying, "Child let me in I'll be there. "

 

Oh, the joys of the Lord and the praises I sing
To my father, the Rock of all ages
As I bow my head in prayer...I know He is there
And He hears every word that I say

 

When I feel I have no one, when the day is done
I can go to my father in prayer
I can hear Him at the door of my heart as before
I can feel His love so strong, I know He's  there

 

He never leaves me alone, He will always come
To my call whether happy or sadness
He knows my every plea, every thought every dream
And I welcome Him always with gladness

 

Oh, the joys of the Lord and the praises I sing
To my father, the Rock of all ages
As I bow my head in prayer...I know He is there
And He hears every word that I say

GOD'S PRAYER
 

 

I heard God say a prayer today
He had so many things to say
Our Lord prayed for peace on Earth
For every baby a perfect birth.
 
I heard him pray for liberty
That someday justice we would see
He prayed that Earth would exist
That Satan's power we'd resist.
 
I saw a tear fall from God's eye
I wept to watch my Master cry
The day that my Lord shed a tear
Was when I knew our end He feared.
 
I heard God say a prayer today
That wars would end and peace would stay
That humans would all realize
That we must love each other to survive.
 
I heard God say a prayer and knew
That all my fears were coming true
For when My Lord prays and cries
For the son that He once sacrificed.
 
Sacrificed so much so we could live
The greatest treasure He could give
And for Him to see us throw it all away
Made God get on His knees and pray.....

Please teach me, Lord ...

 

I want to know
Exactly how to pray.
I need some words
Which ones are right?
Please tell me what to say.

 

I've bowed my head
I have knelt down,
But ... should I be upright?
I've closed my eyes,
I've raised my hands,
Or ... should I fold them tight?

 

Do I stand up?
Should I sit down?
Dear Lord ... what do you like?
Are lights turned on
Or are they off?
Maybe ... candle light?

 

Wear my glasses?
Take them off?
Be at my desk or table?
Should I whisper?
Speak out loud?
Do I quote the Bible?

 

What do you think
About the time?
Do You prefer the dawn?
Should I pray fast,
Or keep it slow?
Better short ... or long?

 

I'm new at this
What are the rules?
I want to do it right.
How do I know
You'll even hear
That I am in Your sight?

 

And while I sat there quietly,
Waiting for some sign,
I heard a gentle voice say,
"Oh, dearest child of mine ...
Do you think I really care
About the time of day,
Or whether you are standing up,
Or kneeling when you pray?"

 

"I don't care about your posture,
Or about the place you choose;
Just open up your soul to me,
I have no other rules.
Tell me what is in your heart,
And tell me what you seek;
Tell me of your sorrows,
And of those things that made you weak."

 

"Speak to me in private
About what concerns you most;
I know about your good deeds ...
You have no need to boast.
My child, you don't need lessons,
Just talk to me each day;
Tell me anything you want, dear child,
Anyone can pray."
