re: Power of Prayer >No Matter Which Faith YouFollow=GOD is With You
Hymns for Good Friday
Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye by faith can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
Lord of life! Now sweetly slumber,
with the dead awhile a guest;
after torments without number,
glorious is your hard-earned rest;
Lo! The dreadful conflict’s ended;
by your sufferings you have won;
over all your power’s extended;
take my heart, O claim your own.
O, what love is here displayed!
See the Father’s only son
to the silent tomb conveyed;
Ah, my soul, what have you done!
Yet, while I, my sins bewailing,
own that they his blood have spilt,
may that blood, for me prevailing,
wash away my sins and guilt.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people -- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4
