Staying and Praying

What a wakeup call, getting up early just to pray,

Then reading in the scriptures, seeking guidance for the day,

Becoming single minded, with Jesus on my mind,

Makes it easier to survive, throughout the daily grind,

For this world wants you to do things fast, always in a hurry,

And expectations are ever too high, filling all our lives with worry,

But in my relying on Jesus, I find all His truths and promises are true,

And in my believing He cares for birds and flowers, He must care for me too,

For in my past life filled with sinning, I now see my heart was hard and cold,

But Jesus made me brand new, He is the Savior of my soul,

So no matter what may threaten me, in His Way I am forever staying,

And if I were to stay up all night, I will rejoice in my praying.
