The Gift of Prayer

As I gaze at the sliver of moon in the sky
And feel the dew under my feet
My mind goes to you in the silence of dawn
All I want is to hear you speak

Oh God, I open my heart up to you
My prayer ascends up to your throne
But it's not the words I speak that matter the most
I must listen for your voice alone

What a precious thing is the gift of prayer
What a mystery vast and wide
I can come to the King of all Kings each day 
He will hear every word that I cry

Then His voice will speak gently with calm and grace
He will give me the words of life 
So, I pray in the silence of morning dew
Because only here will I survive 

A Single Ray of Light

A single ray of light
Piercing through the night
Bringing on the day
Darkness fades away
Glorious in splendor
Brining sighs of wonder
Oh how I await
That first assuring ray

A single ray of light
Giving me my sight
God’s own holy word
Piercing like a sword
My soul is cleansed each day
His word provides the way
Let it shine so bright
That single ray of light

Oh Lord I need the light
It brings me pure delight
To read the truth each day
To follow in your ways
Please burn within my heart
That each day I will start
By bringing into sight
A single ray of light
