Prayer

The weary ones had rest, the sad had joy
That day, and wondered “how”?
A ploughman, singing at his work, had prayed: “Lord, help them now”.

Away in foreign lands they wondered “how”
Their simple word had power?
At home, the Christians two or three had met to pray an hour!

Yes, we are always wondering, wondering “how”
Because we do not see
Someone, unknown perhaps, and far away on bended knee.
