The Poet’s Prayer

How you put the words into my head, I cannot understand.
You seem to open up my heart and guide my writing hand.
I write of truth and love divine the true and living way.
My words are merely mortal, as I think of you each day.
Lord, let me never fail with paper and pen to say,
Words of truth and beauty, as you lead me day by day.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
