Brick upon brick a strong wall is built,
With mortar to seal it so it will not tilt.
The key is the mortar... it keep things in place.
It may not show, but it makes a strong base.
Prayer is as mortar in all that we build.
Our "walls" will be strong if with prayer they're filled.
And if we add love to the mortar of prayer
Our walls will reflect the Master Bricklayer.
The temples and walls we build with our prayer
Will withstand life's storms and fierce wear and tear.
And e'en though our walls may seem rather humble,
With mortar of prayer these walls will not crumble.
"Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it..."
Psalm 127:1 KJV
