Refrain: At the place of pray’r I’m kneeling, Life is sweetest with Him there, Deeper truths God is revealing At the place of prayer. 2 At the place of pray’r I found Him, With a pardon for my soul, And I cried in y amazement, “Canst Thou even make me whole!” Pointing to His cross He answered, “I for thee have suffered there,” So by faith I found redemption, Kneeling at the place of pray’r. [Refrain] 3 At the place of pray’r how precious, Is the Savior’s keeping pow’r, For the comfort of His Spirit, Is my joy of life each hour; All the past His blood has covered, Every burden He will share, And no evil shall befall me, Kneeling at the place of pray’r.
