Efficient Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I write these things to you,
Who believe in the Lord;
The Son of God is true,
To be loved and adored.
This is the confidence,
That we have unto Him;
Being in accordance,
Giving His spiritual vim.
If we know that He hears,
In whatever we ask;
Requests that it appears,
Honored to be His task.
If you see your brother,
That is committing sin;
We must help each other,
Building up discipline.
For God will give them life,
Sin not leading to death;
Reducing any strife,
That takes away their breath.
Unrighteousness is sin,
But if we will confess;
His Spirit cleans within,
As the Father will bless.
If you are born of God,
And not keep on sinning;
When you honor and laud,
Start a new beginning.
The Lord will protect you,
Against all the evil;
Shows what path to pursue,
To avoid the devil.
We know we are from God,
While the whole world lies;
That tempts you to be flawed,
With Satan in disguise.
We understand with Christ,
That we know who is true;
Not to become enticed,
With the evil He knew.
