Why I Sing My Prayers

When I stand alone, amazed
And the words get tangled
On my tongue
Or my awe prevents me
From forming new phrases of my own
 
That’s why I sing my prayers
I let a composer prime the pump
Until my words flow forth on their own
That’s why I sing my prayers
For while I hold a note
The feeling behind keeps flowing,
Growing, going to God
