VALUE OF PRAYER


Confusion reigns in those who fail ta pray, who give no thanks for clues by Heaven sent. They fail ta ask fer Wisdom, day by day, and then they wonder where their blessings went! Why don't we ask for understanding hearts, and wait until the Holy Spirit speaks? 'Cause patient prayer's where the rescue starts, for everyone who knocks, and asks, and seeks. Please, Spirit, tell me what I need ta know, reveal ta me the truth I long ta hear! If I be still, solutions then can flow, ta me, and what ta do become real clear. Please, Holy Spirit, Help me trust in You; I know your guiding counsel's always true! So, Thank You! In Jesus' name, amen!"

FORGIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS, WALK IN GLORY


'Not everyone will want ta get a clue… 'bout everything that's good or bad fer you. Forgive them all the things they fail ta know, and as ya practice that, your love will grow. And may your loving cover all of Earth, resentment go right down the nearest drain; within your heart may Spirit bring rebirth, and you arise ta walk up Glory Lane! Sound Good?”
