About Prayer

by Mattie Stepanek

When I go to my God
On bended Knee or any pose,
When I beg for assistence
With my friends or any foes,
When I gush words of joy
Or any thoughts of any little thing,
When I go to my God
With whatever prayer I bring...

I've got one foot planted
In my here, now today,
And one foot planted
In some heartbeat away,
I straddle the line
Of my earth-life and then,
I touch what I'm creating-
My reality some-when.

When I go to my God
I am revealing my soul,
When I pray for the world
Or my future, every goal,
When I rush thoughts of love
Or faith in any little thing,
When I go to my God
With whatever prayer I bring.

I've got one foot planted
In my here, now today,
And one foot planted
In some heartbeat away,
I straddle the line
Of my earth-life and then,
I touch what I'm creating-
My reality some-when.

See, the prayer is the link between
Our here now and our Then,
Yes, prayer is the connection
Between what will be and what's been.
And, prayer is the answer to
Each prayer within each heart,
Prayer can reassure us
That We're never far apart.

I've got one foot planted
In my here, now today,
And one foot planted
In some heartbeat away,
I straddle the line
Of my earth-life and then,
I touch what I'm creating-
My reality some-when.

So I go to my God
On bended Knee or any pose,
and I beg for assistence
With my friends or any foes,
Then I gush words of joy
Or faith in any little thing,
And I know that our God
Will hear whatever prayer I bring...

Cause I've got one foot planted
In my here, now today,
And one foot planted
In some heartbeat away,
I straddle the line
Of my earth-life and then,
I touch what I'm creating-
My reality some-when.
