power of prayer and songs
When I came upstairs from watching more of the news, which was again sad, the following songs played, one after another. And it encouraged me yet again to pray. I’ve hid my faith on this blog for quite some time, for fear of offending people. I can’t hide right now, I need to publically show a support and leave my wishes that even if you don’t normally pray, spend some time in thought to whoever you believe the higher power is or might be.

There are days when I feel The best of me is ready to begin. Then there’re days when I feel I’m letting go and soaring on the wind. 'Cause I’ve learned in laughter or in pain How to survive. I get on my knees, I get on my knees; There I am before the love that changes me. See I don’t know how, but there’s pow'r When I’m on my knees. I can be in a crowd Or by myself, in almost anywhere When I feel there’s a need To talk with God; He is Emmanuel. When I close my eyes no darkness there, There’s only light. I get on my knees, I get on my knees; There I am before the love that changes me. See I don’t know how, but there’s pow'r In the blue skies, in the midnight When I’m on my knees. I get on my knees, I get on my knees; There I am before the love that changes me. See I don’t know how, but there’s pow'r When I’m on my oh, when I’m on my, When I’m on my knees. |

I hear you say your heart is aching You’ve got trouble in the making You ask if I’ll be praying for you please And in keeping with convention I’ll say yes with good intentions To pray later making mention of your needs But since we have this moment here at heaven’s door We should start knocking now, what are we waiting for? Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way Every moment of the day, it is the right time For the Father above, He is listening with love And He wants to answer us, so let us pray So when we feel the Spirit moving Prompting, prodding, and behooving There is no time to be losing, let us pray Let the Father hear us saying What we need to be conveying Even while this song is playing, let us pray And just because we say the word, "Amen" It doesn’t mean this conversation needs to end Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way Every moment of the day, it is the right time Let us pray without end and when we finish start again Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence As our prayers draw us near To the One who knows our needs Before we even call His name Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way Every moment of the day, it is the right time For the Father above, He is listening with love And He wants to answer us, so let us pray Let us pray everywhere in every way Every moment of the day, it is the right time Let us pray without end and when we finish start again Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray Our Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On earth as it is in Heaven Let us pray |
