The Primary Purpose Of Prayer! Poem by Denis Martindale

I don't pray to the saints we had, departed from this Earth,
Nor hope that they would make me glad, nor seek to prove my worth.

I don't pray to my friends who lived, as equal to the Lord,
Nor seek of these a boon, a gift, a treasure or reward.

For I will pray... eternally... to God who understands,
In memory of Calvary... Christ's blood, Christ's feet, Christ's hands.

That's why I pray to Jesus Christ, my Saviour, Lord and King,
The Lamb of God once sacrificed, for He gave everything.

I choose to pray to God above, the Father of my faith
And Christ who truly shows His love, the One who died to save.

The Holy Spirit intercedes beyond the times I pray,
Not only for my hopes and needs, but that God leads the way.

For all good works, not just for some, with thanks, I say my prayers,
For all I am and will become, for all God still prepares...
