Prayer’s Song
By Effie Darlene Barba
I come to pray dawn’s early hour
That I might seek Your strength, Your power
Prepare my soul to battle sin
The fears, the doubts that rise within
I do renounce my foolish pride
That in Your Glorious love abide
Chorus:
Oh, Lord; I long to see Your face
The wondrous beauty of Your Grace
It is Your love that draws me near
Your Joy that lifts my heart with cheer
Fountains of joy to quench each fire
Until You are my one desire
Then as I go about my day
How oft I pause-must stop to pray
A whisper here or whisper there
Your Holy presence rich and fair
Is always there to hear my sigh
To guide my way, my needs supply
Chorus:
Oh, Lord; I long to see Your face
The wondrous beauty of Your Grace
It is Your love that draws me near
Your Joy that lifts my heart with cheer
Fountains of joy to quench each fire
Until You are my one desire
Then as the day draws near it’s end
I turn to God, my dearest friend
To tell Him of life’s ups and downs
Of all the laughter and the frowns
I fall asleep there in His arms
Safe, secure from all life’s harms
Chorus:
Oh, Lord; I long to see Your face
The wondrous beauty of Your Grace
It is Your love that draws me near
Your Joy that lifts my heart with cheer
Fountains of joy to quench each fire
Until You are my one desire
