Fervent prayer, oh the power,
Wake up saints and exercise!
Prayer’s power comes by the hour,
Help us Jesus, realize:
That when we pray, the demons cower!
Christ has given us a picture,
His very life and actions speak
That prayer should be a fixture,
Always present, never weak.
God’s will and prayer: the perfect mixture!
When we lift our prayers, up they go
And heaven hears our pleas;
Then answers fall and we will know
The power of bended knees.
Where prayers are reaped, what grace is sown!
Pray when peace like garlands hang
And pray when pains like spikes are driven.
Pray through joys and pray through pangs
And never stop, till you are given
Heaven’s summon: Beulah land.
You need not offer eloquence,
Simple, humble words will do.
By faith, see prayer’s relevance
To the trials He leads us through.
Wait, then witness God’s extravagance.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” NIV
