Too Deep For Words

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some days I cannot find the words.

My thoughts have drained away

From all the chaos or the pain

That I felt through the day.

I close my eyes, open my heart,

But, struggle though I may,

I can’t form thoughts, much less the words

That I so long to pray.

 

It is in those times of distress,

Of sorrow or dismay

That I can feel Him listening

To all that I can’t say.

I know that every hope and fear,

Each thought that I watch fray,

Is understood clearly by Him

Who hears what I can’t pray.

 

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
