Prayer

We reach up toward heaven
Every time we go to pray.
We try to gain an inner peace
To take with us each day.

We pray.  We speak to Father
Giving thanks for blessings giv'n.
We pray to reach an inner peace
That comes when we're forgiven.

And if we pray then we will know
The calming of His voice
That reaches down to speak to us
That tells us we are choice.

We'll find that we are comforted
When the going is not smooth.
We'll find He's understanding
Of our every thought and mood.

He'll teach us to be better
Than we otherwise would be.
He'll give us strength to carry on.
He'll help us clearly see

That praying brings us inner peace
That nothing else can bring.
It helps us to be better
In every little thing.

When we don't take the time to pray
We move steadily away
From peace and love that we can find
When we kneel down to pray.
