lyrics

A Moment To Talk With God

When I was a younger, conscientious man,
I said prayers with heart-felt concern.
I believed the Lord was by my side
Helping me as my times would turn.
There was never a question of maybe,
only companionship to gently prod
me with inspirations and confirmations,
as I would take a moment to talk with God.

Over time as I got older and maybe distant,
and with indifference, I went my own way.
Relying less on Him and more on myself,
as my communiqués grew less each day.
My prayers of thankfulness and words of hope
went from detailed to an occasional nod.
And it wasn’t disbelief; I was just too lazy
to just stop for a moment to talk with God.


So busy doing life, getting through tribulations
that saying a prayer can seem to be such a chore,
I rationalize; He doesn’t want to hear from me,
when He’s has all them that need Him more.
But there are times I want to turn myself around
not just ask forgiveness at the firing squad;
instead, I would offer up my heartfelt prayer
and stop to take a moment to talk with God.

And I know he’s waiting for me to come back again
above and beyond my own silly façade,
He wants me to speak to Him as I would my best friend;
and to take a moment to talk with God.
