When you pray you'll receive

1.
When you pray you’ll receive;
Wait on God and believe.
He’ll surely answer if you persevere.
If your prayer’s good and pure,
Then with courage endure;
He will meet every need in His time.
Chorus:
/: He will open for you. :/
Yes, the door He’ll open for you;
He will open it for you.
2.
You are truly God’s heir;
You’ll His heritage share.
O what a wonderful calling, dear friend!
You will have peace of mind,
And great joy you will find,
When by faith you inherit with Him.
3.
Why should you be depressed?
Have no fear; be at rest!
Think, friend—God speaks words of comfort to you.
Let your hands no more sink;
Of His Spirit now drink,
And your peace like a river will flow!
4.
“Abba, Father,” you pray;
You’ll be rich; you’ll be free.
Spirits of bondage will all flee away.
Songs of joy you will sing
With a jubilant ring
When all fetters are broken by faith!
