Angel's Hand Is Empty An angel's hand is empty - because you did not pray Way on up in heaven - our prayers are being kept As odours in golden vials - are the prayers of the saints Then one day an angel - will come forth to offer up The smoke of incense which came - with the prayers of the saints Ascended up before our God - out of the angel's hand If prayers arae so important that In golden vials is where they're kept Is it not important that - the angel's need is met So on that day of sacrifice - a soft fragrance will arise As our prayers are poured - out to God - our offerings to Him Yet how sad our Father will surely be - if the angel's hand is empty Let us fill the golden vials with - our prayers for that day So the angel will carry to our King - an offering to please Let it be so great - so full, so that a host it will require To carry to the golden altar- which is set before the throne The huge supply of prayers that day - a fragrance ne'er been told Get on your knees - this very day And pray for loved ones - near and far Pray for your own - and for the church And for your pastor - above all Pray for salvation, for healings, release Pray for needs all supplied, for joy, for love, and for peace Get on your knees - this very day Let us fill the vials full An angel's hand is empty - because you did not pray An angel's hand is empty - because you did not pray An angel's hand is empty - so will you pray this very day? written by Gail Batton - #18 - 5/9/90 Back to Home Back to Poems
