Efficacious Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I write these things unto you,
Who believe in the Son of God;
That eternal life is true,
If you do honor and laud.
This is the confidence that,
We ask as fit in His will;
And hears us where He has sat,
In our hearts to instill.
He hears whatever we ask,
We know what we do request;
Whatever will be that task,
Righteously desired quest.
To see a man commit sin,
A sin not leading to death;
God sends His Spirit to cleanse,
Coming from His righteous breath.
Only after to confess,
About sinful wrongdoing;
Repents for His transgress,
In what He was pursuing.
Each one who are born of God,
Will never keep on sinning;
Evil causes not to be flawed,
Letting Christ keep on winning.
We know that we are from God,
As the rest of the world lies;
If we do honor and laud,
His wisdom will make us wise.
For He gives understanding,
Knowing it true when we pray;
We know of His commanding,
And idols we won’t obey.
