TALK TO ME

My child, when will you talk to Me
I haven't heard from you today
Could you set some time aside for Me
Because I'm just a prayer away

You feel you don't have time to pray
A busy schedule to fulfill
Late for work, the traffic's thick
Earning money for the bills

A stack of papers on your desk
The phone is ringing off the hook
Can't be late returning home
Since you have a meal to cook

But when you have time to relax
You turn the TV on
Watching all those prime time shows
And then the day is gone

And where was I through all this day
As you hurried to and fro
I was waiting here inside your heart
And trying to let you know

I want to spend some time with you
And talk for a little while
Quality time we can spend together
A loving Father and His child

Sometimes you go for several days
And you never think of Me
I long to hear you voice your prayers
I get so lonely can't you see

Your words to Me are, oh so sweet
Like a lily or a rose
All the feelings from your heart
Like a mountain stream they flow

Why don't you spend some time with Me
Before you rush into the day
And let Me fill you with My strength
My love will carry you all the way
