"And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed" (Exodus 17:11). "And when He rose up from prayer, and was come to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow, and said unto them, Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation" (Luke 22:45,46).
When Moses lifted up his hand
Then Israel prevailed.
So God would have us understand
The reason we have failed.
We're sleeping when we ought to pray,
And we are not aware
That Satan's host prevails today
When we are not in prayer.
Rise and pray, shake off your sleep,
Or fall into temptation!
Pray that you may daily keep
Prevailing in salvation.
