It's truly a prayer being offered,
sweet assurance flushing out
all sense of failure.
This song of Soul brings light,
lifts layers of burden,
dissolves them with a love
that sings itself.
Words on wings of grace inspire.
Wandering thought stands still
in witness to this holy place.
Gratitude echoes through
my simple prayer of listening.
With heart prepared, in tune,
I find my living can embrace
such a song—
a gift that now resolves
into Amen.
