Prayer

It’s easy to be modern,

When you live in a modern day,

To let the old slip from you

To let it slide far away.

 

All that’s progress is not progress.

All was not bad in yesterday.

How we need a fresh revival

Oh, how we need again to pray.

 

The grand old Book has been replaced,

By religious movies and plays.

Great revivals were not products

Of seminars nor picnic days.

 

Praying has a way of making,

A small canoe into a barge.

And also shrinking those big things,

Till they don’t look nearly as large.  – eab, 2/13/07
