Prayer works! I am not saying that God always answers prayer in our time frame, and perhaps He answers it in a different way than we would expect sometimes; nevertheless, I am convinced He does answer the prayers of all those who have been adopted into His family through faith in Jesus Christ Our Savior. If, perhaps, there is one reading these words who does not know God yet, He promises to hear your prayer if you ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart. Then, you too will know the blessing of being a child of God, and the wonderful privilege of being able to communicate with Him in prayer, having His promise that He hears you. | MP3.com CD: In the Way - buy it!

Lyrics
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
