the words that I say to you

Thinking about a post from a few days ago, while at the same time listening to a song from a CD recommended to me by a brother. One of the songs ("To the Only God") has particularly fine lyrics based completely on the end of the book of Jude.

People struggle to express themselves to God, and struggle with figuring out this whole thing with prayer. Prayer is simply and completely and utterly conversation with God, end of story. All of the constructs that churches have built up around it are completely useless. But even if you lacked the ability to converse, the Word itself can converse for you. Some of the most beautiful words ever written are contained within those chapters, and even if all you could do was read you'd be able to pray.

"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." {Jude, v24-25}
