A talk with God

I Pray

God I'm sorry for rushing through 
I'm sorry for putting anything in front of You;
I got so busy serving You and,
Working day by day; 
I began to say, "Later, I'll pray"
And the time I continually let slip away .

So patiently you wait for me
A gentleman an in every way, 
So mercifully You care for me,
Keeping evil at bay;
So graciously You give to me
Bless me all my days;
So lovingly You call to me, "My child..."

My God, how do I say...?
I long to be with You
With every passing day, 
I will not sleep of slumber, 
Work or play, 
Speak or ponder
Until
I pray;
I pray!
