Words on Screen
Pattern of Prayer
no choirs of angels
no round of applause
no hip-hip-hallelujahs
no song and dance
be still
in secret
draw with words and silence
the shape of your heart
this is prayer
within this framework lay down
the fragile pieces of your life's tapestry
some beautifully made
some tattered
torn
frayed
Some precious beyond measure
some worthless rags
the intricate designs
the random scraps
they are a patchwork of who we are
every piece sewn together
by the unbreakable golden thread
of forgiveness
mercy
grace
woven from the love of God
put aside the shadows of the future
unseen, uncertain, unknown and unknowable
live in the shining light of the present
and find peace in eternity
be still
in secret
draw with words and silence
the shape of your heart
touch the power and the glory
for ever and ever
now
this is prayer
