Sing for You

All I want
is to sing.

To praise You
every time I do.

But I can't ever get the words right,
and the ones in the books leave me feeling contrite.

Like, I haven't told You completely
what I need to say.

That I won't be thanking You for the right things
at the end of the day.

One day I'll find that song,
or I'll write it myself.
Until then,
I'll keep praising you,
through my hymnal on the shelf.

Can You hear the song
playing in my heart?
I don't know it right now,
but You must have from the start.

After all You wrote it,
but I feel the need,
to sing it back to you..
That way the prewritten lyrics,
won't mislead.
