Prayer
Prayer is the key that unlocks the door
To every room on every floor,
And they who use this key will feel Its power that is stronger than steel. When Jesus was here on earth below- More than nineteen hundred years ago ; He taught his disciples to pray, He, even, told them what to say. The prayer He taught them then Is still used by many men. For wise men everywhere
Still go to God in prayer.
When, in prayer, on our knees, We can reach higher than trees. No tree has ever reached beyond the sky
Where God dwells on high. In the Bible we are told
of men and women of old,
Who used this wonderful key, And were able to see God's power and His love To give us a home above-- That home beyond the sky,
Where the soul of man will never die.
