“My Glory will I not share with another.” Isaiah 42:8
Have you been called to serve
Where others tried and failed.
But with God’s help and strength
YOUR efforts have prevailed?
Touch not the glory.
Has God appointed you
To some great and noble cause?
Or put you where you hear
The sound of men’s applause?
Touch not the glory.
Have you some special gift?
Some riches you can share?
Or have you learned the art
Of intercessory prayers?
Touch not the glory.
A watching world still waits
To see what can be done
Through one who touches not
That which is God’s alone.
Touch not the glory!

Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the heart or soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Holy Spirit, for such things as God has promised, or according to the Word of God, for the good of the church, with submission in faith to the will of God.
John Bunyan
