A Moment To Talk With God (R-E) Lyrics

When I was a younger, conscientious man

I said prayers

With heart-felt concern

I believed the Lord was by my side

Helping me

As my times would turn

There was never a question of maybe

Only companionship to gently prod

Me with inspirations and confirmations

As I would take a moment

To talk with God

Over time as I got older

And with indifference, I went my own way

Relying less on Him and more on myself

My communiqués grew less each day

My prayers of thankfulness and words of hope

Went from detailed to an occasional nod

And it wasn't disbelief

It was just being lazy

To stop for a moment to talk

With God

So busy doing life, getting through my trials

Saying prayers could be such a chore

I rationalized He doesn't want to hear from me

When He's has all them that need Him more

But there's times I want to turn myself around

Not just ask forgiveness at the firing squad

Instead, I would offer up my heartfelt prayer

And stop to take a moment

To talk with God

And I know he's waiting for me to come back again

Above and beyond my own silly façade

He wants me to speak to Him

As I would my best friend

And to take a moment to talk

With God
