Before daily duties
Priorities get straight
To dwell in Your Presence
A time to meditate
One within the silence
To dwell within the Word
To journal pearls of wisdom
Of the Spirit heard
Beauty in the stillness
Of this treasure great
Nourishment of soul
Of light to contemplate
Son of the beloved
The joy of Christ to share
Sent within the way
Filled by time of prayer
The time for choosing
Is in this life now
A choice of eternal
A gift God endows
Not only is this “time”
A choosing of our call
But it’s the only “time”
There will be at all
For “time” will be no more
After this life, be
As we understand it
Just sequentially
A very different “time”
From what we understand
Our “eternity” sealed
At time of death we land
I need time in no time
Right now and right here
Moment of our sharing
Presence be aware
I need space in all space
Dwelling of to be
Emptiness of filling
Blessed light of thee
I need to see to see
Lens within Your view
Let the soul be molded
Wisdom to pursue
I need love of all love
Place of true value
Only one in the One
Needing not but You
Awakening unto
Precious grains of sand
A little gift of time
Is placed into our hands
One of our unknowing
Be many or be few
As within Your way
Let’s offer them to You
May souls desire be
Of binding with You here
In serving those in need
And blessed in time of prayer
When placed in Your Presence
We pray that we will see
A simple grain of sand
Binds to eternity
Of blessed moments
The losing of me
In time of the soul
We truly can be
Birth of the new day
Of sunrise to flow
Moves into being
Connection to know
Deepest of silence
From a mountain peak
View of perspective
For the soul to seek
Horizon of ocean
Comforting waves
Drifting beyond
Of what the soul craves
Into unseeing
Time of our prayer
So Holy the presence
Beyond all compare
Soul of dwelling into
Something of the greater
Beautiful to be
One with our creator
His language is silence
Pray every soul seek
That speaks to the heart
Each language unique
His time is this moment
Pray every soul claim
Now and eternal
This time is the same
His gifts are precious
Pray every soul know
Receiving in giving
His gifts to bestow
His Presence unseen
Pray here to see
Seen everywhere
Let Presence now be
Speak now my Lord
In this moment now
Gifts of the sharing
Your Presence to know
