I know not how prayer changes things
That miracles may come to be.
But this I know: Prayer lends me wings,
And by God's grace, prayer changes me!

Prayer Changes Me
By Elizabeth Saxon
I know not how a simple task,
Prayer-blessed, shines with divinity,
When in good faith God's help I ask,
But this I know: Prayer changes me.
I am a knocker at the door;
I am a seeker at the gate;
I am an asker, who before
My own dear God has learned to wait.
I know not how prayer changes things;
It is a lovely mystery.
But this I know: Prayer lends me wings,
And day by day, prayer changes me!
