Only A Prayer Away - Len Magee

THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE ON KZread, especially one who has been busy and away for some time lately. The Lord blesses you and keeps you in His care, always! HE IS ALWAYS NEAR!
Only A Prayer Away
1 One day I heard the ancient story
Of a cross on a hill far away
And now I've a friend up in glory
And He's only a prayer away
Chorus:
O He never would say: 'I'm too busy today'
Every tear, every care, He's promised He will share
And although He's the Lord of all glory
Yet He's only a prayer away.
2 Sometimes I don't feel much like praying
But He speaks words of love just the same
And deep in my soul there starts flowing
Living waters, songs of praise to His name
Chorus:
O no He never would say, etc.
3 If I keep the cross e'er before me
As I die I will live day by day
If I sin, If I fall, He'll restore me
For He's only a prayer away
Chorus:
O no He never would say, etc.
Yes although He's the Lord of all glory
Yet He's only a prayer away
THIS UPLOAD IS A TRIBUTE TO LEN MAGEE. Len's music IS UPLIFTING. His songs are like good sermons, his lyrics speak of his personal experience of God's love, JOY, PEACE and power.

    Thank you, user-ir7of2jp2x. At 65, I have been through many years of pain and suffering. I have known much joy and peace in the Lord. Right now, it's the evening of my life and the end is not far. I only pray that I will remain faithful to Him and that He will have mercy on me, providing for me a roof over my heard and food on my table. May God have mercy and be real to us. God bless you.

    Hello,Selwyn, you are welcome. It's my joy and pleasure to serve the Lord in this small way. Some old favourites are available in CD format. (Formerly, cassette tapes and vinyl records were the norm.) However, Len Magee's songs have not been released in CD format. The website I gave a link to does not sell records. Rather they sell the songs online which has been catching on for many years now. You pay them with an online payment method and you download the songs yourself. You can play them on your own gadgets or computers or you can make a CD on your own. If you don't know how to do that, perhaps you can write to Len's sister, Lesley Wells, (lesleywells@gmail.com) who runs that website? lenmagee.com/music-shop/
