I watch you from a distance
Sitting there, eyes closed,
Mouthing words, but not making a sound.
I look at you sitting there
And I ponder as I watch,
Who are you speaking to?
What are you saying?
Are you trying to picture the object of your attention?
Are you thinking about the words, or Him to whom you are praying?
Can you actually hear Him?
How do you know He is there?
Do you truly know Him?
Do you truly know Him?
Who is it you speak to?
I sit in my room quietly
Stopping for a brief moment in time
Letting my mind go quiet, my thoughts be still
And I fix my attention...but on what?
On who?
I start to speak some words
Making requests, giving praise
But who am I speaking to?
Who is my attention fixed on?
Do I truly know Him?
How can I pray to one whom I do not know?
Whom I do not feel?
Whom I can't picture or imagine?
I most certainly believe in Him,
But do I know Him?
Omniscient Father, Omnipotent Creator,
Omnipresent Spirit, King of Kings.
Father of all, my faithful Lord,
Saviour, Creator, King.
Ruler, High Priest, All Holy, All Loving,
Wonderful Counsellor, Perfectly Just Judge,
Mighty Redeemer, Precious Lord.
Perfect Peace Giver, Everlasting One,
Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End.
Trustworthy Master, Gentle Shepherd,
Banner, Protector, Light of the World.
The great 'I am', the Fire, the Whisper,
Beautiful Jesus, Word of God.
Most Worthy of All, Master and Lord.
Who are you Lord?
