IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER

If you yearn for peace of mind
And for rest in your soul,
Find them in the place of prayer.

 If you want to clean your dark past

And to start a new life in the light,
Bend your knees in the place of prayer.

 If yours eyes are dried of tears

And your heart has blown up with thick blood,
Fix them in the place of prayer.

 If your mouth pours out bleak words

And your mind is full of fears,
Purge them in the place of prayer.

 If your hope is lost

And love is out of reach,
Catch them in the place of prayer.

 If joy in your face is off

And the faith does not bear fruits,
Find the sense of life in the place of prayer.

 If your steps are mired in the muck of sins

And your hands are bound in chains of vice,
Be free in the place of prayer.

If you think that God is too far

And you are not in His thoughts,
Reach out to Him in the place of prayer.
