My Heart's Prayer
by Sarah Lewry © 2005

I have more blessings to count
than there are stars in the sky.
I have more words to pray
than I have breaths to sigh.

I have more peace on earth
than this world could ever give.
I have more hope in my heart
that will remain as long as I live.

You came to me so long ago.
My friend, you’re with me now.
I am silent, hoping and waiting.
Before your throne, I humbly bow.

Speak to me words of wisdom,
and love more mighty than a sword.
I want to give my life to you.
I will daily read your word.

Speak to me of heaven
and of love that will last till death.
I give my heart to you
until I breathe my last breath.
