Pray

Pray

The skies were clear, it was early morn
The wind was still, the sunshine warm
My soul was cloudy, damp and drear
I was alone, no friends were near
The trials seemed harsh, the blessings seemed few
Then someone whispered, “I suffered for you.
Upon the cross I hung that day.
Now all you need do is kneel down and pray.”
My knees slowly bent as I knelt down to pray
With righteous intent I started that day

Now when I feel lonely, and I’m all on my own
I remember that day when my soul ceased to roam
I lift up my voice as His praises I sing
To Him all my joys, all my sorrows I bring
He is my Light as I go day to day
And when it feels dark I kneel down and pray
So whenever YOU feel dreary or blue
Remember He who suffered for you
Heed His wise counsel and remember each day
That all you need do is kneel down and pray

We all want the way to clearly be shown,
All that was hidden before to be known
The Lord hears our prayers and in His own special way
He will cause us to search, to find, to pray
His answers come softly as we earnestly seek
He’s promised to answer the humble and meek
He teaches us daily line upon line
Not showing us all with one big sign
To pray in faith, to seek the truth
It’s what we are taught while in our youth
To talk to Him as our Father so dear
To keep his commandments and have Him near
We’ll watch and we’ll listen and in faith kneel in prayer
With His love here to guide us and His Spirit ever there
