Oração de Verdade

Prayer is not a bunch of words
Or just a speaking time where I talk to God
Prayer is not a list of requests
Where I expose my dreams involving only myself
Prayer is not just a shout in space
Where someone kneeling claims what is theirs
Prayer goes far beyond all of this
It's an access to the infinite that Jesus gave me

Prayer is a door that opens
There inside eternity in God's room
Prayer is a treasure map
Revealing in the depths the secrets of heaven
Prayer is access to heaven allowed
But if I haven't understood, I can't enter there
Prayer is a key only for a child
And that's why it starts like this: Our Father

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven

And that's why I pray, cry, and adore
And the more I pray, the more my self dies
I'm just human, living in this plane
But I received power to access heaven
And that's why I pray, leap for joy
And the more I pray, the less I want to ask
Because only by praying I realize
That my need is to stay here, in Your presence
In Your presence, in Your presence, ah, Your presence
