The Meaning of Prayer

[grace07]

The Meaning of Prayer
A breath of prayer in the morning
Means a day of blessing sure;
A breath of prayer in the evening
Means a night of rest secure;

A breath of prayer in our weakness
Means a clasp of a mighty hand;
a breath of prayer when we're lonely
Means someone to understand;


A breath of prayer in our sorrows
Means comfort and peace and rest;
A breath of prayer in our doubtings
Assures us the Lord knows best;

A breath of prayer in rejoicing
Gives joy and added delight,
For they that remember God's goodness
Go singin far into the night.

There's never a year not a season
That prayer may not bless every hour,
And never a soul need be helpless
When linked with God's infinite power.
