The two best prayers I know Either one is always apropos Like my oldest friends They know just what to say Some days my cup of blessing fills Other days I trip and when it spills I'm not guessing either way I know just what to pray Help me, help me Thank you, thank you Whether you're riding high or feeling low These are the two best prayers I know "Help me" and "thank you" The more life I live I find The two prayers intertwine Like my fingers do When I bow my head to pray Blessings can be so confusing Winning when I think I'm losing The wounds of yesterday Might be my saving grace today Help me, help me Thank you, thank you Whether you're riding high or feeling low These are the two best prayers I know "Help me" and "thank you" With eyes wide open at the wonder of it all Or with broken wings when I'm spinning in free fall "Hallelujah!" "Deliver me!" They're rising up inside of me Rolling off my tongue, Before I thought to bid them come Help me, help me Thank you, thank you Whether you're riding high or feeling low These are the two best prayers I know "Help me" and "thank you"
