I wonder if I should pray aloud

I know God knows my thoughts
my prayers before they are born
He knows the number of my days
the Spirit dwelling within me
fills in the words
when words won’t come

I wonder if I should pray aloud
if to God it is singing
the melody of our prayer
the libretto of our petitions

Does God long to hear us
the words out loud
the prayers to him spoken
our hope in His answer
in the promise of God.
