God's Trap

Now when it comes to prayer, you should beware
that God can use it as a kind of trap,
for soon you find you can pray anywhere,
which leads to God as if a kind of map.

You start to pray and then you start to care,
prayer draws us out to see the needs of others,
then too it turns on you for God’s right there,
so if we pray enough, our sins He smothers.

Join God in prayer, and soon our lives we share,
He takes our blinders off, with faith we see,
our secrets slide away, our souls we bare,
His answers make a miracle of me.

I’ve warned you, so start praying if you dare,
God sneaks and grabs and traps you with a prayer.
