Just a word, Lord…

is what I desire today.

Often I devote quality time with Thee,

hoping to learn more of your Holy ways.



Just a word, Lord…

keeps me moving forward with You;

embrace me with Your Presence,

in everything that I say and do.

completely captures my heart.

My…

Lord, create in me a clean heart

and teach me how to pray.

Sow your righteousness into me;
