Pray And Study Study And Pray
Do we do we do we really take God at His Word
Do we who claim to love Him really trust what can be heard
While seeking Him in worship with His scriptures on our knees
Observing all He shows us that the doubter never sees
Or do we simply hurry through our study time with Him
And therein miss those words of gold beset with precious gems
Of truth that He would show us if we'd only let Him in
Our wounded hearts that hurry off to follow after sin
Not sin that's all that open but so occupies our time
We too just like the doubters let the world possess our mind
And shut out that most needed that the Lord would have us see
The depth of perfect promises of grace that set us free
From all the things that hamper us from being close with Him
Who yearns to be right next to us and even deep within
So deep within our heart and mind we naturally extend
To Him that most important time on which we oft depend
To be a restful moment when our perfect rest is found
Each morning in those early hours with Him on holy ground
Preparing us with perfect grace to face the enemy
Who's waiting every moment for his opportunity
To catch us when he's able weak in faith and slow in mind
To lead us by distraction in the way he'll help us find
That slowly leads us from the Lord in paths we should not go
Until we've joined the ranks of those whom God says not to know
Who've hardened heart against Him through the worldly ways of men
Who count their god to be the one who joins them in their sin
Embracing darkness fearing light that soon will take control
When God exposes everything that lies within their soul
So friend please don't be weary of the warnings that He gives
Who spent His many sleepless nights in prayer that we might live
But ever seek His presence from the time you wake each morn
Until He comes in glory and His likeness you adorn
And focus on His promises place each one in your mind
Where He can have His Spirit share the Truth that you will find
Exploding with new beauty filled with wonder to display
The brightness of God's glory in the minds of those who pray
Nehemiah 1:5-6; Luke 6:12; Psalm 119:73-80; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
