If You Pray

David Agbaje

If
         You
         Pray
You will be wise
If you are wise
You will be well
If you are well
You will be rich
If you are rich
You should be kind
If you are kind
You will be great
If you are great
You should praise Him
If you praise Him
He will send more
If He sends more
Praise Him the more
Who is above
Who is around
Who is within
Leading you on.
