Poetry by Winnie, Think more about prayer; 1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Nobody Prayed

Well it's morning and I've over slept,
And I have such a long busy day.
So Father, please forgive me,
For I haven't got time to pray.

With no time to take for dinner,
I'll get a bite on my way home.
Any way there's no one there,
And I hate to eat alone.

Now at last the day is over,
And my mind I need to clear.
Then my car phone starts to ring,
And this tender voice I hear.

Slow down my son there's danger,
There'll be a wreck just up ahead,
Though you forgot me this morning,
I've chosen another instead.

I was trembling as I rounded the curve,
I could hardly believe my eye's.
For the car was so badly mangled,
I knew no one had survived.

Alcohol and blood ran together,
When I heard some one say.
You know it's really a pity,
 He turned twenty-one just today.

Many people by then had gathered.
They were talking of the wreck that day.
Of how they thought it had happened,
But I didn't' hear nobody prayed.

Heaven's Just A Prayer Away 

When morning comes I ask the Lord,
To guide me through the day.
To hold me tightly in his hands,
Far from evil's way.

Yet I find myself doing thing's,
All though I know their wrong.
So I ask the Lord's forgiveness,
Still it happens all day long.

Lord, no matter how I try,
I keep sinning everyday.
I can feel the devil pulling me,
But you're standing in his way.

Why is it you still love me so,
Though the devil's at my door.
Just when I think he's won,
You love me even more.

So I must live the best I can,
And keep praying everyday.
Can't let the devil get me now,
With Heaven Just A Prayer Away.
