An Answer to a Prayer, by Marie MacIntyre

My son came home today

In answer to a prayer;

I've prayed so many times for this

That I know that God is there.

He's there and working with each one

And works in wondrous ways

And Father I watch Thy workings

And to you give all the praise.

I know you're working problems out

In your own glorious way,

And I'll pray and trust and give you love

As I thank You for today.

An Uncluttered Mind, by Marie MacIntyre

Father, I thank Thee
For an uncluttered mind:
The ability to think love
When others are unkind.

The ability to thank You
For what you've done:
To remember the deeds
of Your precious Son.

With Wonder I watch
What each day does bring:
The beauty of trees,
And the birds that sing.

The beauty of flowers
Around me grow:
The beauty to see
Is Thy gift, I know.

Have Faith (As A Mustard Seed), by Marie MacIntyre

Faith as a mustard seed

Will grow and grow

For when we plant our crop

We reap what ever we sow.

To reap a good crop,

We must tend it with care;

We must water, tend, and keep it

If we a crop do share.

We are each a precious seed,

And we must keep our lives in hand

Or reap the crop we sow

And have a barren land.

So Faith, as a mustard seed,

Tiny did start -

But I nourished it and tended it

From a very grateful heart.
