Miracle Prayer

My prayer can help the pain that's more than pain,
for prayer can bring the power of God to bear;
more likely than our yen to pray for rain,
a prayer for spiritual cure can prompt God's care.

We all are doctors when it comes to souls,
just as church is a sinner's hospital,
the power of prayer lets us take the controls,
and prayer just takes a quiet interval.

To help prayer even more it would be nice
to put a bit of body on the line,
and add to words a little sacrifice,
and give our humble thoughts a little spine.

O Christ, You said, "Ask and you shall receive,"
to give us miracle power, I believe.
