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.
2
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.
3
The grand old Book has been replaced
By religious movies and plays.
Great revivals were not products
Of “seminars” nor picnic days!
4
Praying has a way of making
A small canoe into a barge.
And also shrinking those “big” things
Till they aren’t quite as large.
