When for an answer I had prayed and prayed
and prayed until my words seemed worn and bare
I had knocked and asked, and knocked and asked again
and all my fervor and persistence brought no hope
I paused to give my weary brain a rest
and ceased my anxious human cry
and in that still moment, after I had tried and failed
there came a glorious vision of
Your power
and so, my prayer was answered in that hour.
