Most of us pray

At a church altar

Or by a pew

Not really considering

If any place else will do.

Some people pray

At home by their bedside

Or possibly in a closet

Or some other place to hide.

Other people pray

In a hospital or a jail

In a quiet tone

Or possibly a yell.

Some people pray

While walking in a field

Or on a wooded trail

Is where to God they yield.

But whether you pray

At a church altar or pew

Or maybe by your bedside,

Closet, or hospital room,

Any of these places

Will do any day

For each of them are

A good place to pray;

For it doesn't matter if you

Are in a field,

Or in a jail,

On an open street

Or a wooded trail.

Any of these places

Will do any day,

For each one of them are

A good place to pray.
