On the Wings of Prayer

Just close your eyes and open your heart

and feel your worries and cares depart,

just yield yourself to the Father above

and let Him hold you secure in His love –


For life on earth grows more involved

with endless problems that can't be solved–

but God only asks us to do our best,

then He will take over and finish the rest –


So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,

there's always one door that is open to you –

and that is the door to The House of Prayer

and you'll find God waiting to meet you there,


And The House of Prayer is no farther away

than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray –

for the heart is a temple when God is there

as we place ourselves in His loving care,


And He hears every prayer and answers each one

when we pray in His name Thy Will be done –

and the burdens that seemed too heavy to bear are lifted away

on the wings of prayer.
