Just Enough to Pray

| Just Enough to Pray Pews are empty, No footsteps are heard, The doors are closed, And I hear not a word. The sanctuary looks old and worn And the pulpit is lined with dust. The piano doesn't play anymore And the drums are starting to rust. All the bibles on the pews there lay Collecting more and more dirt. I remembered not wanting to come here. My heart began to hurt. Memories began floating back Of the days I used to come here, It's been over ten years now. Lord, how I wish I had been sincere! The Lord had caught away All the saints of this place. But when the time came He didn't remember my face. But, it's all my fault. I didn't come to pray to Him. And now that I know that, My future looks dim. Wait a minute...wait. What's this? Lord? You're speaking? To me? I forgot you years ago, How can you still remember me? "My son, I never forgot you" Not one day went by without my Grace. Now, come to Me, dear child, And feel the warmth of my embrace." I knelt down in front of the old altar, And began to pray. Then tears of joy Came down my way. Thank You, Lord, for setting me free. I now know what I need to do. Just look up towards Heaven, and keep my heart upon You. You will bless me All the days of my life, And I won't have to deal With eternal strife. I got up, and walked down the aisle My face filled with glee. I lifted my hands up With praises of glory. I opened the doors, And looked up at the beautiful sky With the Spirit around me, I began to cry. I knew the angels were shouting in heaven For my soul was won on this day. All because I humbled myself Just enough to pray |
