Just yield yourself
to the Father above
And let Him Hold you
secure in His love

For life on earth
grows more involved
With endless problems
that can't be solved

But God only asks us
to do our best,
Then He will "take over"
and finish the rest

So when you are tired,
discouraged and blue,
There's always one door
that is open to you

And that is the door
to "The House of Prayer"
And you'll find God waiting
to meet you there,

And "The House of Prayer"
is no farther away
Than the quiet spot
where you kneel and pray

For the heart is a temple
when God is there
As we place ourselves
in His loving care,

And He hears every prayer
and answers each one
When we pray in His name
"They will be done"

And the burdens that seemed
too heavy to bear
Are lifted away
on the wings of prayer
