Prayers Are the Stairs to God

 

Prayers are the stairs

We must climb every day,

If we would reach God

There is no other way,

For we learn to know God

When we meet Him in prayer

And ask Him to lighten

Our burden of care_

So start in the morning

And, though the way's steep,

Climb ever upward

'Til your eyes close in sleep_

For prayers are the stairs

That lead to the Lord,

And to meet Him in prayer

Is the climber's reward.
