Swift Prayer

I marvel at how swift a prayer is heard,
How all are welcomed, how no prayer is spurned,
how every thought and word are monitored,
no precious privacy where God's concerned.

The speed of light is slow compared to prayer,
In fact, God knows our prayer before it's prayed,
God hears with ease, His ear is always there,
In love with me, He swift comes to my aid.

I'll get my wish, there is no guarantee,
but that He'll answer it is guaranteed,
and just as swift His mercy comes to me,
as soon I'm sorry, from my sins I'm freed.

So soon I sense Your love, Lord, swift and true,
so swift I too will send my prayer to You.
