God, am I alive
When my love is paralyzed?
This is my civilization
Teach me how to pray
In the ordinary ways
This is my transfiguration
To receive all things as grace
Whether toil or joy or pain
Could You teach me how to pray?

[Interlude]

Teach me how to love
When it's easy, when it's rough
This is my purification
To lay down my life and trust
You are not yet done with us
Could You teach me how to love?
I have come to seek Your face
Writing poems as I wait
This is my transfiguration
