I wonder if I should pray aloud – v4

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, my thoughts,
prayers when words won’t come.

I wonder if I should pray aloud, out loud,
speaking the words of my prayers
as if to God it is singing,
the melody of our prayers and
the libretto of our petitions
raised up to the heavens.

Does God long to hear us,
our thoughts, our desires,
the words spoken out loud
the prayers to Him spoken?
Our hope is in His answers,
in the promise of God.
