The  House of  Prayer 
Just close your eyes 
 and open your heart 
And feel your worries 
 and cares depart , 
Just yield yourself 
  to the Father above 
And let Him hold you 
   secure in His love – 
For life on earth 
  grows more involved
With endless problems 
  that can’t be solved –
But God only ask us 
  to do our best ,
Then He will take over 
  and finish the rest –
So when you are tired , 
  discouraged , and blue 
There’s always one door 
   that is open to you –
And that is the door 
   to the house of prayer 
And you’ll find  God waiting 
   to meet you there ,
And the house of prayer 
   is no farther away 
Than the quiet spot 
   where  you kneel and pray-
For the heart is a temple 
   when God is there 
As we place ourselves 
    in His loving care .
And He hears every prayer 
    and answers each one 
When we pray in His name 
   “ Thy will be done ” –
And the burdens that seemed 
    too heavy to bear 
Are lifted away 
     on the wings of prayer .
