Spiritual Revival
There was this Catholic girl I knew who came from my home town,
She said her prayers each morning when her feet first hit the ground
“Down on my knees”, she said to me, quite matter-fact’ly-like;
Which struck me as quite moving – few assume that is all right.A challenge that – quite different, though as single at the time
She followed RC teaching – “Start your day with God in mind;
Go in your room and close the door, just focus on your God;
As Jesus said, reward is there, and there it won’t look odd”.One change it brings – “Our Father” now includes us and our spouse;
While ‘all alone’ is good, this draws together from our house
Two lives now one, as we pour out our hearts in morning prayer;
And says to self, and spouse, and God, “Concerns for life we share”.That does not mean your partner has to join you on your knees,
For two are one regardless; share with God your daily needs,
And you will find your life each day filled with a Spirit new –
Now quietly God has some room your marriage to renew.navigation
