HOW DO WE PRAY?*

When trials stood on ou neck,
When our tongues tasted neem,
When life diverted our legs from comfort route,
When weamon run from us and we parry,

Our eyes we raised up in search of God's face.
Exchange offers we began to make...
"Lord, if this trials I subdue, wholeheartedly shall I worship thee"
"Lord, if mockery could be transchange into jubilation, like a kite shall I dance in thy altar"
"Lord, if all my lost I could regain, I shall walk with thee forever"
"Lord, if this exam I could triumph, grateful shall I be"
"Lord, if this weamon I could obtain, my tithe and offering I shall pay"
         ...Is that how we pray?

When our sweat couldn't cohere,
When detrimental elude us obliviously,
When failure tend us,
When our wishes couldn't be wished,

Our eyes we raised up in search of God's face...
Rhetoric questions and blame we began with God.
"Why did you do this to me?"
"I did study hard, why didn't i pass?"
"Why hart thou neglect me?"
"Where thou thy face O Lord?"
"I serve and bow in worship daily, this I deserve?"
      ....is that how we pray?

When we are in woe,
We assemble our faith in God,
Seeking with heart immaculate
With no digression and cast we our fear in him,
         That's how we pray.
Weamon is a portmanteau which means Wealth and Money
