The Meaning of Prayer


A breath of prayer in the morning 
Means a day of blessing sure; 
A breath of prayer in the evening
Means a night of rest secure;

A breath of prayer in our weakness 
Means the clasp of a mighty hand;
A breath of prayer when we're lonely 
Means someone to understand;

A breath of prayer in our sorrows
Means comfort and peace and rest;
A breath of prayer in our doubtings
Assures us the Lord knows best;

A breath of prayer in rejoicing 
Gives joy and added delight,
For they that remember god's goodness 
Go singing far into the night.

There's never a year nor a season 
That prayer may not bless every hour,
And never a soul need be helpless 
When linked with God's infinite power.
