Lyrics

Lord, sometimes I feel guilty for being still
My soul feels small and shriveled
I know I need to stop
I need to center my mind, my emotions, my plans on You
Yet when I save time to be quiet before You
When I stop the motion and find a place to listen
I feel guilty
I have been too conditioned to gauge my worth by what I’m getting done
Instead of on what You already have done

Lord, this pressure to accomplish something is felt even more
In the circles where Your Name is used freely
“What are you doing for the Lord?” seems to be the important question
Spoken and implied
But my Spirit tells me that these are human expectations
Not of divine ones
What You want is relationship with me

Lord, I am here today to enjoy You
To be with You, to listen to You
Would You take me into Your presence
And wash away the earth from my feet
So that I may walk into Your place
Without leaving dirty prints on Your carpets
Let me be at rest in the silence
I bring nothing, except my hunger and my full attention

Sweet hour prayer, sing it

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at the Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known

In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer

Oooh
