How Do You Pray? Poem by Danny Speicher

So long since I last heard Your voice call me
So long since I last heard You say my name
So long wanting and yearning to be free
Knowing that I'm the only one to blame


So tired of hurting… Crawling through life
So tired of tear soaked darkness, within
So tired of fear piercing like a knife
Begging for the chance to begin again

How do you pray when your spirit's silent?
How do you find a lamp without sunlight?
How do you love when your own heart is bent?
How do you stand, when your soul's lost its might?

So far 'til the end of this life's journey
So far 'til my robe is washed by the Sea
So far 'til my eyes His wholeness will see
Singing that my body is wholly free

How do you pray when your spirit's silent?
How do you find a lamp without sunlight?
How do you love when your own heart is bent?
How do you stand, when your soul's lost its might?

When your spirit's silent, pray anyway
When it's dark, still search blindly in the night
When your heart hurts, love beyond the decay
And, when you're weak, for His strength, daily pray

So soon I will come to Him face to face
So soon I will find true peace for my soul
So soon I will feel His amazing grace
Dancing for I'll be young and not grow old
