It's Amazing What A Prayer Can Do

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

The above photo shows how prayer can save lives. If it had not been for the prayers of a family, that God would keep his protecting hand on their family member. Then the person driving this car might have been killed. IT'S JUST AMAZING WHAT A PRAYER CAN DO!!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting to share the lyrics of this song for awhile. The other day I wrote the words down so I could post them on here.

It's Amazing What A Prayer Can Do
Written by Mike Upright

There was a king who got a letter.
A mighty army with number.
He spread it out, there for the Lord to get a view.
God sent a prophet and just one angel.
The devil's army split into.
IT'S JUST AMAZING WHAT A PRAYER CAN DO!

Chorus: Its moved mountains, parted rivers, brought the dead to life again.
I've called upon an old prayer warrior a time or two.
If your in trouble, I'll go down on my bended knee for you.
IT'S JUST AMAZING WHAT A PRAYER CAN DO!

I've seen a momma and a baby.
He fought for life the whole night through.
It seemed all hope was gone,
Oh how the tears did fall, not just a few.
But there's ole' grandpa over in the corner.
He knew the blood would pull him through.
And that baby's still alive to show what prayer can do.

Chorus: Its moved mountains, parted rivers, brought the dead to life again.
I've called upon an old prayer warrior a time or two.
If your in trouble I'll go down on my bended knee for you.
IT'S JUST AMAZING WHAT A PRAYER CAN DO!!!!!!!

Sin Is To Blame

One day while at our little Monday morning prayer meeting we were singing, "Where Could I Go?" After we were finished someone said something about the song on the opposite page. And they read a few of the verses. That song is called, "Sin Is To Blame." I have never heard it before or even noticed it before in the song book, but I read all the verses one night and decided to share it with you.

Sin Is To Blame
Written by J. H. Vernon

1. See yonder man in the prison he dwells,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
List to the story he plaintively tells,
Sin is to blame for all.

Chorus: Sin is to blame for all sorrow,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Have you no hopes for tomorrow?
Sin is to blame for it all.

2. Many dear children are crying for bread,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Father's a drunkard and mother is dead,
Sin is to blame for all.

Chorus: Sin is to blame for all sorrow,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Have you no hopes for tomorrow?
Sin is to blame for it all.

3. Heartbroken mothers all sad and alone,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Helpless and needy, no place to call home,
Sin is to blame for all.

Chorus: Sin is to blame for all sorrow,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Have you no hopes for tomorrow?
Sin is to blame for it all.

4. Thousands refuse to accept His free grace,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
All who reject Him have chosen their place,
Sin is to blame for all.

Chorus: Sin is to blame for all sorrows,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Have you no hopes for tomorrow?
Sin is to blame for it all.
