COME ON IN

In this chaotic, frightening era
As we rush from day to day
How many folks reserve some time
Set aside to simply pray?

It doesn't have to be an hour
Just 5 minutes,  maybe 10
A quiet spell of short respite
Before the rat race starts again

A special time to share with God
Whatever is in your heart
Ask His guidance and His blessings
While your day has yet to start

It needn't be a formal prayer
Or one read from a book
God will treasure every thought
Each moment that you took

Heartfelt conversation
Between yourself and God above
Will open up a window
For Him to shower you with love

He wants to hear your problems
He knows exactly how you feel
He's only waiting for the chance
To show His love's for real!

But so many of His children
Wait until they're in a squeeze
It takes tragedy or a crisis
To get them on their knees

And prayer to lots of people is
"I should,  I want,  I need!!!"
I wonder if they've ever said
A prayer not based on greed

A prayer that just says, "Thank-You"
For everything You've done
Thanks because I woke today
To see the morning sun!

So make daily prayer a habit
Include God in your life
He'll gladly share in all the joy
And help you through the strife

Then when your journey's over
And you've survived each danger
You'll stand at the Pearly Gates
Knowing God is not a stranger!

And when you see those golden halls
That house Eternity deep within
You'll see your Father at the door
Saying, "Welcome....come on in!"
