The Widow's Prayer

Luke 18:1-8

Grant justice from the adversary 

    A widow pressed in from the start

Persistence made a way you see

    She shows us we cannot lose heart

        The judge ignored 

             But she prayed through 

         Helped from the Lord

              Faithful and true

The judge had no regard for man

     And neither had a fear of God

Her fervency revealed God's plan

     She wearied him with repeated prods

         He will defend

               We can expect

          God shall avenge

                His own elect
