The act of prayer is surrounded with much mysteryPrayer to God can change the course of historyMen first began to call on God many years agoThis is recorded in Genesis four and 26 you know
I don't know whose prayer to God was the firstMaybe it was for water to quench a mighty thirstBut I thank the Lord that this one paved the waySo many others who followed can to God pray
Saints' prayers are full of odors stored in golden vialsSome are ones I prayed during my troubles and trialsAngels add incense to these prayers of the saintsThey are presented to God who never slumbers or faints
At times I've prayed and the Lord answered right awayAt times I've prayed and the answer never came my wayBut I will keep on praying to God who reigns on highThe answer will come today, tomorrow or bye and bye
