Nothing But Prayer

Born to this world, caused to live, the dragon's hand of malice must meet you man; To be only safe away from the strife in Jesus believe, And this, only by prayer you can. You are a target prey for the claws of death, The bearer is cheeky and cunning a betrayer; To flee from his fire, to have a free breath, No way but by prayer. Tempests are a threat and times are tough, And lures wear guise to look like Lore; To override the clouds and meet with Love, Only by prayer you defeat the foe. To give you Good and Mercy and Blessing and More, To be a chosen child, a perfectly scoring player; To anoint you with power to deal the devil a blow, Nothing but prayer. To heal your wounds and cover your scars, To turn your sorrow into joy and peace; To golden your all to glitter like stars, Nothing but prayer can eternally lease. To form you fit a Savior's bride, And qualify thus for the Heavenly Layer; At last to the Father with Jesus ride, Nothing but Prayer.
