The Power of a Bended Knee


 

The Power Of A Bended Knee 
By George Thurlow

In the early morning hours
Before the break of day,
God call His intercessors
To come and watch, and pray.

He puts upon them burdens
Of great intensity,
Arousing them to battle
With dire urgency.

And lays at their disposal
All that they would ask,
Partnering together
To bring a thing to past.

Holding back the tide of evil
In some foreign land,
Opening up the door to freedom
By loosening the bands.

Intercession for a stranger
Or a loved one very dear,
For someone facing danger
In overwhelming fear.

Sending workers to the harvest,
Unclenching stingy hands,
Provision for a mission
Taking a stand.

For the lonely soul in prison
To repent and see the light,
That the perishing and dying
Would get their hearts made right.

That the hurting and the sickly
By faith would grab a hold,
Trusting in His Promise
Be healed and truly whole.

The power of a bended knee
Moves the hand of God,
Bringing down His Will from heaven
To this earthly sod.
