i call your name

most of the time it’s not audible

i say it in my mind

and i become aware of Your presence though You have never left my side

often it seems i am so far away and i know i have created that distance in my mind

just a prayer, a few simple words will erase the barricades i have placed

it’s like I’m driving down a road and i don’t like what i see

i stop the car and move aside and let You have the wheel

You don’t drive fast and you make a turn and i begin to smile because i see

i was on the wrong street all along that would take me back to Thee

i call Your name when i am happy, i call your name when i am sad

i call Your name when i feel alone, lost or afraid

Fortunate to have a friend who is always ready to help, the difference between You and my other Friends…………………………You have the power to guide me through the smoke
