“Your Prayers Are More Important”
Oh, your prayers are more important than your money e’er will be,
For your money lasts a moment, but your prayers eternally.
We can do a lot with money but we do much more with prayer
And though money is important still your money can’t compare;
No, your money can’t compare to all your prayers mean now to us,
Yet we praise God for your giving, for you’ve been so generous.
Though we thank God for your giving, it’s your prayers we really need,
For eternity is different when you pray and intercede.
Through your prayers the Holy Spirit here convicts lost men of sin
Bringing sinners to the Saviour, giving life where death had been.
Through your prayers we see God blessing in the lives of brethren dear
As they help us reach their neighbors in this vast and dark frontier.
Through your prayers the church is growing, growing stronger every day,
And the Spirit gives His wisdom for the needs along the way.
Through your prayers God’s grace is given for the problems so sever,
And we find God’s grace sufficient to go on and persevere.
Thank you all for kindly sharing from your heart and from your purse,
And we know that God in Heaven will reward and reimburse.
Yes, we thank God for your giving, yet it’s prayer we really need
For eternity is different when you pray and intercede.
