YESUS JURU S'LAMAT KU

Teach Me How To Pray..

Please teach me, Lord ...
I want to know
Exactly how to pray

I need some words
Which ones are right?
Please tell me what to say

I've bowed my head
I have knelt down,But ...
should I be upright?

I've closed my eyes,
I've raised my hands,Or ...
should I fold them tight?

Do I stand up?
Should I sit down?
Dear Lord ... what do you like?

Are lights turned on
Or are they off? Maybe ...
candle light?
Wear my glasses?

Take them off?
Be at my desk or table?
Should I whisper?
Speak out loud?

Do I quote the Bible?
What do you think about the time?
Do You prefer the dawn?

Should I pray fast,
Or keep it slow?
Better short ... or long?

I'm new at this
What are the rules?
I want to do it right

How do I know
You'll even hear
That I am in Your sight?

And while I sat there quietly,
Waiting for some sign,
I heard a gentle voice say,

"Oh, dearest child of mine ...
Do you think I really care
About the time of day,
Or whether you are standing up,
Or kneeling when you pray?"

"I don't care about your posture,
Or about the place you choose;
Just open up your soul to me,
I have no other rules.

Tell me what is in your heart,
And tell me what you seek;
Tell me of your sorrows,
And of those things that made you weak."

"Speak to me in private
About what concerns you most;
I know about your good deeds ...
You have no need to boast.

My child, you don't need lessons,
Just talk to me each day;
Tell me anything you want, dear child,
Anyone can pray."

dengan segenap hasrat yang tak sampai

ku ingin berucap padamu
bahwa aku sangat mencintaimu

walau luka yang kau ukir dihatiku

aku masih mengingatmu
aku masih mencintaimu dengan tulus

aku masih menginginkanmu

mungkin kau tak akan mengerti akan rasaku
saat ini ataupun waktu itu
sehingga kau putuskan untuk meninggalkan aku
sehingga kau putuskan tuk tidak mencintaku lagi

tanpa kau peduli
betapa hancurnya hatiku saat ini ataupun waktu itu

kini, dengan segenap hasrat yang telah terluka
aku masih mencintaimu......
