I said a prayer
It wasn’t much–
I had no power
To heal or touch.
My words were few
Clumsy, and lame–
I barely knew the
Person’s name.
What could I do
So weak and small?
Would such a prayer
Reach God at all?
But I bowed my head
I knelt and prayed.
I trusted God
And I obeyed.
I said a prayer
‘Twas all I had
To offer one
Who felt so bad.
She said a prayer
For me–For ME!
She could not know
She could not see..
The hope that came
The peace it brought–
That little prayer
Who would have thought?
God used her words,
Even clumsy and lame.
God heard her pray
“In Jesus’ Name..”
Not all at once
Not all in a day,
But God answered
When she chose to pray.
I met a man
His face was sad;
I knew that look,
And I was glad
To say a little prayer
To smile and nod;
To lift him up
Before the throne of God.
It wasn’t much,
Just a word or two.
But I said a prayer,
For I know it’s true..
God heard my prayer,
Clumsy and lame–
God will answer
“In Jesus’ Name..”
He said a little prayer,
He sought My face;
He asked for mercy,
I gave him Grace.
It wasn’t much,
Barely a moan
But it caught My ear,
And it reached My throne.
He thought it was small,
And clumsy and lame,
But My heart was glad–
I knew his name!
Don’t ever underestimate the power of prayer– we may never see the “answer” we expect, but God hears our every whimper!
