Prayer Changes Things is made up of three addresses given at the Annual Meeting of the South African General Mission April l0th 1910, in King's Hall, Halborn, London.
"He is counting on you."
He has need of your life
In the thick of the strife;
For that weak one may fall
If you fail at His call.
He is counting on you,
If you fail Him — What then?
"He is counting on you."
On your silver and gold,
On that treasure you hold;
On that treasure still kept,
Though the doubt o'er you swept.
"Is this gold not all mine?"
"Lord, I knew it was Thine."
He is counting on you,
If you fail Him — What then?
"He is counting on you."
On a love that will share
In His burden of prayer;
For the souls He has bought
With His life-blood; and sought
Through His sorrow and pain
To win "Home" yet again.
He is counting on you,
If you fail Him — What then?
"He is counting on you."
On life, money and prayer;
And "the day shall declare"
If you let Him have all
In response to His call;
Or if He in that day,
To your sorrow must say,
"I had counted on you,
But you failed Me" — What then?
"He is counting on you."
Oh! the wonder and grace,
To look Christ in the face
And not be ashamed;
For you gave what He claimed,
And you laid down your all
For His sake — at His call.
He had counted on you,
And you failed not — What then?”
—Bessie Porter Head.
