The Key To Heaven




 
The Key To Heaven
By George Thurlow

God is not moved by murmuring
Or faith that quickly faints;
His ears will never hearken
To griping and complaints.

The effectual fervent prayer
Of the righteous He will hear,
All those who come with boldness,
In faith and not with fear.

The Lord shall have no pleasure
In those who would draw back,
And accuse Him of indifference
And in His promise being slack.

God honors importunity
And faith that muckles on,
Even when the answer
Seems to take so long.

Just come to Him with confidence
Ready to receive;
Faith opens the door of Heaven
When you trust Him and believe.
