Powerful Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Is there anyone suffering?
Or are you feeling afflicted?
Let us pray to give buffering,
And no longer feel addicted.
Is anyone feeling cheerful,
Then allow them be singing praise,
Giving comfort to the tearful,
And confessing as someone prays.
If there is someone feeling sick,
Call on the elders of the church;
Post haste and that they will come quick,
Anointing them not to besmirch.
Anoint with oil in His name,
A prayer of faith shall then save them;
The Lord forgives sins they proclaim,
Committed sin not to condemn.
Confess your sins to each other,
While praying you may be healed;
Pray for your sister and brother,
Acquitting sins will be repealed.
We are subject to a passion,
Pray fervently to bear the fruit;
Heaven gives rain to ripe fashion,
Able that you reap in pursuit
