You Did Not Say

You did not say
I have to be on my knees when to you I pray

You did not say
to hold my hands special when to you I pray

You did not say
wait for a unique time when to you I pray

You did not say
only certain people to you can pray

You did not say
how my heart should be when to you I pray

What you said is true this day

If I do not know how to pray
If I do not know what to say
You have already given me the way

You said to Our Father do I pray
recall that his name is holy, his name the way
know that in heaven we can all go to stay.

All we need to is listen I say
Hear the knock heed the way.

What you said is true tomorrow
An easy way to avoid much sorrow.
Forgive those who do us harm
By mouth and look and their own arm
You give us as much in return
One more way to avoid the burn.

A talk with you can save us more
Temptation is such a general word
Both greed and lust knock on my door.
Wicked siblings also thrive
Of deadly sins there are still five.

From evil take us far away.
Let us find new ways to pray
and tell you back of your great love
and how with love in kid skin glove
you show to us day in and out.

This prayer this song is all about.

You did not say to do or not.
The choice is ours...to live or rot.

It can go like this if just for today
