Church Prayer
I thank God for remembering,
Always in every time I pray;
Knowing that He is answering,
My requests as to what I say.
Always in every prayer of mine,
For making my prayers are with joy;
I feel comfort with such sublime,
He intimately does employ.
His fellowship through the Gospel,
Ever since from the beginning;
An alternative to the people,
Having a path to stop sinning.
He who began good work in you,
Will bring completion on that day;
Knowing that Christ Jesus is true,
And that you can trust and obey.
It’s right for me to feel this way,
Because I hold Him in my heart;
For His grace I no longer stray,
In His words I always impart.
For God is my witness I yearn,
For all the affection of Christ;
Of all the goodness I did learn,
My heart and mind have been enticed.
It is my prayer about His love,
May abound you yet more and more;
In His wisdom from up above,
Knowledge and judgment are secure.
You may approve of what is pure,
Excellent and that is blameless;
His glory will give you a cure,
And enabled to be shameless.
The fruit of righteousness be filled,
From the glory and praise of God;
And within your heart be instilled,
Through Jesus to honor and laud.
