Far Out Prayer ©
I'm out there too far and I cannot erase
The world from my memory
In time and in space.
How did I get lost there?
Why went there I ask?
My mind and my God
Just aren't up to the task
To keep my soul centered
Except that I pray
The evening
The night time
The morning
The day.

The Answer to Far Out Prayer
                Journey Out and In Prayer ©
 
We pray our lives from the world returns;
That the fire of Christ within us burns;
That alone our heart for the Spirit yearns
As we seek the other to serve.
We pray our minds would the journey learn;
That temptations outside us we would daily spurn;
That our soul has the grace to obey and discern
The Truth and the Wisdom of God.

Because it’s not enough that I say the words,
Since routine discipline is for the birds
And show without tell for the masses and herds
Of the goats and the cows of the earth.
Sincerity is in the truth in the heart
It’s the end of the day just the same as the start
Where the wheat and the chaff we might each pull apart
As we seek life's true meaning and worth.
So make time to God more precious
Midst your journey the free and unconscious
Praying faith to explore all your wishes
Where the end only Christ still remains.
