It is the mark of a Christian
The test of one’s inner strength
It is work
It is labour
Our wall of defense
It is the prevailing muscle
That moves the Almighty’s arm
It is a mighty weapon
To the enemy disarm
It is the place of communion
With a holy God above
The means of transforming
Us into His great love
It is sharing in His burdens
And being privy to His heart
It is being in Jesus’ presence
Kneeling before the holy Ark
Why then-
Is this the way we resist
More often than not?
Perhaps because the way
Of the flesh it is not
But now –
Put that flesh man down-
Tell him to submit!
Then fall upon your knees
Where the flesh
Can have no credit.
Yes, there is a price to pay
-the flesh-
For a hidden ministry.
You may not be a preacher
Nor a church celebrity,
But with Christ you will enter
The highest work of all.
It is the one of Prayer, where
Before God’s throne
You are called
