Silent Prayer

Sometimes I just cannot find the words

For what I feel inside

All the fancy prayers I've ever heard

Don't seem to turn the tide

But deep within my heart can sense and know

When I find that avenue

Heaven hears as I pour out my soul

In quiet faith anew

It's those silent prayers

That reach up to the throne

Bringing our affairs

Where they are heard and known

The heart can be a voice

So child of God, rejoice

For heaven is aware

Of our silent prayer

Hannah prayed and wept before the Lord

In fervent, desperate need

By faith she came, a son to ask God for

And with tears to intercede

The priest who watched her could not understand

For Hannah made no sound

But earthly ears can't hear what heaven can

When we kneel on holy ground

It's those silent prayers

That reach up to the throne

Bringing our affairs

Where they are heard and known

The heart can be a voice

So child of God, rejoice

For heaven is aware

Of our silent prayer

Don't think a quiet whisper

From the heart is not enough

A silent prayer by God is heard

Where little counts as much

It's those silent prayers

That reach up to the throne

Bringing our affairs

Where they are heard and known

The heart can be a voice

So child of God, rejoice

For heaven is aware

Of our silent prayer

For heaven is aware

Of our silent prayer
