My gratitude for this moment,
That you’ve invited me to be here,
By myself I know, I cannot,
Raise my spirit to Your Presence.
Here before you, I am.
My soul, of Your own, now bows,
pains and fears, scars and bruises,
with gratitude and pride, unmasked.
No words, no thoughts, no sighs.
I come with no petition nor praise,
only the humility of a solitary walker,
and the dignity graced to a created god-man.
I pray to understand that I do not need to pray,
To be filled with Your silence, than to address,
To be consumed by Your wisdom, than to learn,
That I may wake up and be glorified by your Being…
For one day, You will call, and I will respond,
“In Your hands, I commend, everything that I am…”
