Prayer With Fasting


On Sinai Mount with radiant face
To intercede for Heaven's grace
Upon the stubborn wayward race
He (Moses) fasted.

Once lifted from the miry clay
When opposition came His way
David the King would often pray
With fasting.

Daniel possessed a visions gift
He told the troubled king his dream
Had light on God's prophetic scheme
Through fasting.

The prophetess in the temple court
Beheld the Babe the two had brought
For Him she longed and sought and prayed
With fasting.

So shall they fast when I am gone
Was this no word to act upon
Thus you should live and watch and pray
With fasting.
