Prevailing Prayer


"Hear my prayer, O LORD… And enter not into judgment with Thy servant: for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified… Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness" (Psalm 143:1,2,8 ).  "If  thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding… then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God" (Proverbs 2:3,5).  "Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom.  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise" (Luke 23:42,43). 

We have an audience above
With God who causes us to hear
An answer from His heart of love
As to His throne He draws us near. 

Since all are guilty by the law,
Our only hope is in God's grace. 
The lovingkindness David saw
Was in the Lord, our Hiding Place.   

The prayer that earnestly prevails
Finds understanding at God's throne.
His lovingkindness never fails
That He extends to all His own. 

Lord, thank You for prevailing prayer,
Like from that thief whose urgent cries
Transported him from his despair
To be with You in Paradise!
