I’ve been praying Ever since I was little And I never thought much about it. I just spouted my words right out there And I figured I’d done what I needed to do And everything would be okay.
Well, I must have prayed for the wrong things Or maybe in the wrong way Because some things just Didn’t turn out right. And then I grew up a little more And listened to more Bible school lessons And one day… The words from one of those lessons Finally made it to my brain cells, And prayer has never been the same since. Let me tell you in my little kid way The way I see prayer now.
It’s like “Wow” Do you know who you are talking to When you bow your head, Close your eyes And say, “Dear Father in Heaven”? Well, let me tell you that You just opened the communication line. You’re talking to God! The one and only Lord God Almighty, The one and only God.
The God Who made the earth And everything in it and on it The Creator Who made you And everyone else there ever was, is or will be And He really is now listening To little ol’ you. What are you going to say To this one and only powerful Being?
I look up at night and see the stars. The One you’re getting ready to talk to… He made all those stars And our moon too. Talk about power! Wow! He’s got it! And a new baby, Wow! He made that baby inside its momma. You hold a baby and you are holding Something God just made!
Seems like there ought to be a better word than just “Wow!” Maybe our knees ought to hit the deck Every time we say “Our Father in Heaven” ‘Cause we’re talking to God The one and only God The one we all will meet some day.
