The Healing Power of Prayer

He was buried so deep in as far as society goes On the street he'd sleep and to God only knows He would beg for money and use it for his habit And like the energizer rabbit he just couldn't quit Day in and day out and now it's just year by year He was among life's rout and to him it was clear Until that late fall day when he abruptly changed In taking a moment to pray priorities rearranged Being so wet from the rain in trying to keep dry Suddenly he felt this pain in seeing his own lie A pain of the heart that he had never felt before For he was the whole part and knew it to his core So he checked himself in with the Lord by his side Never before could he win no matter what he tried But now the Lord was there and carried him through Going from the lions lair to sitting in the second pew Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
