These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Prayerful

Before we lay a pate to rest,
we give the soul to God
to guide us as He knows it best.
Forever we'll applaud.

The prayerful heart can pray with words
of many or of few
alway connected with the Lord,
who makes the life brand new.

The prayerful one agrees that pray'r
is like the breath of lungs.
We live not long without it there,
but with it, songs are sung.

The prayerful life communes with He,
Who made us, small and great.
The smallest prayer of "Lord, I see,"
can save before too late.

Consider ye, that prayer is given
to all, who love the Son.
If you would start your life to livin',
confess. The battle's won.
