Power of Prayer
How precious are those moments when we go alone to pray
Outside or in our closet where God leads that we should stay
A little while together sharing moments two as one
The blessing of our fellowship through merits of His Son
His Son Who's reconciles us through the merits of His blood
He shed upon that cruel cross because of perfect love
That drew Him in compassion to adopt the perfect plan
Established in the heavens long before the fall of man
When They the Holy Godhead met together to discuss
The options to consider to redeem the souls of us
If we the perfect beings fashioned by the perfect hands
Should join that great rebellion living out its evil plans
That only would be tolerated for a little while
To show the worlds a watching just how evil would defile
The work of God's creation perfect to the least detail
That would have to be purchased by the work of three strong nails
One nail that held His right hand that reached out in works of love
To heal the brokenhearted with His Spirit from above
And one that held His left hand that had ministered to feed
The wants of every nation that would bring to Him their need
And one that held together both His feet that walked each day
Among the hurting masses who knew not how they should pray
For God to be within them as His light before all men
To show those lost in darkness His redemption from their sin
That hinged upon our Saviour Who took time each day to pray
He Who is God Almighty living Truth and perfect Way
To give us an Example even He would not abide
A day without the Father and His Spirit deep inside
His heart by Their communion in a solitary place
Not focused on the present needs of substance time or space
But on eternal matters to restore the souls of men
Who had in them desire for redemption from their sins
And who would be their channels for the work that must be done
To glorify the Father through the Spirit and the Son
By acts of love and kindness that through us They might reveal
The power of prayer through service where the saints receive His seal
Matthew 14:23; John 17
