A resolve to pray

A resolve to pray
by Joel Howard

"When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously." - Daniel 6:10, ESV

I know this place

I know your face

I know your grace

In this place

And though they take
My freedom away
I remain on my face
In this place

Open wide, open wide 

Open wide the windows

to Jerusalem!
Still I cry, still I cry

Still I cry to your heart
O Great I AM!

I have a resolve to pray
Though my enemy accuse me
Try to throw me in my grave
I must not falter today
Though the enemy accuse me
And try to throw me in the grave

I have a resolve to pray

I have a resolve to pray

Something about Satan's rule

Is foul in my lungs
This edict to not worship 

any other gods

He whispers to me while

I am crying on my knees
"Don't you see? 

You're just like me
Don't you know?
You're all alone"

But I have a resolve to pray

Though my enemy condemn me
And hinder my own way

I must not bend to him today

Though he growl at my love

For the One who saves the day

I have a resolve to pray

I have a resolve to pray
