When words are failing me

Альбина Кумирова
I come to You, my Lord,
and, feeling destitute
without a right word,
my tongue becoming mute.

Forgive me and embrace
my silence and my dumbness
and show me Your grace,
unlocking soul's numbness.

I want to start the day
to You a bit more near.
Teach me, oh Lord to pray
in reverence and fear.

Oh, make me understand
that You alone console
a humble spirit and
my broken thirsty soul.

When words are failing me,
You still can read my mind.
Accept my silent plea,
unbind words confined.

Not a lip service - You
all of my thoughts desire,
where words, perhaps, are few,
but, sure, full of fire.

Oh, make my heart aflame
with a sincere praise
to glorify Your name,
in love for You ablaze.
