A Powerful Prayer

(Just a snippett of a new poem called "A Powerful Prayer"... you'll have to come to our next event to see the whole thing... we'll let you know when that is:)

If you've seen
The poverty of the poor
Or the petitions of the powerless
Don’t. hold. Back. Your.
Prayers.
Just because you don't seem to have the
Time.
Cause maybe
Just possibly
Maybe the poor are
Just one prayer away
And maybe the past is just
One prayer away
And maybe the imprisoned are just one prayer away
One prayer away
From freedom.
So look at your clock
a'tickin'
Look at the time
a'going
Look at the world around you
a'moving
But when you look- is it moving enough?
Does this clock represent
Something more than spent time and spent cents?
Does it wreak of something particularly prayerful?



can't wait to see you all at the next event! let us know what you think! and if you want us to come to your church, email us at odetotheforgotten@yahoo.com

love!
