I'm so thankful that God can hear the prayers
we struggle to find words for!
I'm so thankful we don't need fancy and fine-art language to
come before the throne of grace!
Worship, wonder and want
wing their way to Him
when we pray...
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
God hears our hearts; we need no eloquence or pre-writ script
For him to understand the worship and wants we impart
For it is not through fluency whereby we are equipped
God hears and sees the treasure and the measure of the heart
His eyes are on the righteous; his ears open to their pleas
We do not need to impress Him with artful eloquence
Into stutters and groanings he pours out His sympathies
And intercedes on our behalf with Mercy’s diligence
Unscripted and uncensored is the prayer that God can see
He hears the language of the heart when words fail to express
The intricate details of love and longing's earnest plea
And bestows His perfect reply with 'wait' or 'no' or 'yes'
