Larnelle Harris - Rhoda lyrics

Peter was thrown in prison Made a scapegoat for Herod's wrath So a girl named Rhoda met with the saints To intercede on this behalf Hearing their prayers God answered Like time and time again And while still in prayer Rhoda heard peter call But ran to announce him without letting him in And all of heaven said Rhoda open the door Don't turn and walk away Here is the one you've been praying for And God answers when you pray Oh don't waste the time Just open the door and find That your answer to prayer is there Rhoda open the door Rhoda was so excited And she shared it through many words Though her testimony wasn't believed She was convinced of what she'd heard Peter kept right on knocking With worry on His face Finally Rhoda opened the door And all of her doubters just stood there amazed All of heaven said Rhoda open the door Don't turn and walk away Here is the one you've been praying for And God answers when you pray Oh don't waste the time Just open the door and find That your answer to prayer is there Rhoda open the door Are you an effectual fervent prayer Casting your mountains to the sea Or do you pray like these friends of peter Not taking God seriously Heaven said Rhoda open the door Don't turn and walk away Here is the one you've been praying for And God answers when you pray Oh don't waste the time Just open the door and find That your answer to prayer is there Rhoda open the door Well now, Rhoda open the door Don't turn and walk away Here is the one you've been praying for And God answers when you pray Oh don't waste the time Just open the door and find That your answer to prayer is there Rhoda open the door
