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
