Deeper Than Words


When you're weary and so bone tired
you don't even know what to pray,
your Spirit speaks on your behalf,
much deeper than words can say.

It releases an innermost groaning,
from your soul to God's own ear,
and though you never utter a word,
your prayer is delivered quite clear.

God doesn't need to hear your words
when you can't find the right ones to say.
Your Spirit sighs, replete with meaning,
much deeper than words can convey.
