1 Samuel 1:1

Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat. Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”

Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s house. In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.”

As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.”

“Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.”

Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.”

She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.

Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the Lord and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him


[Verse]
Hannah prayed one sunny day
Wishin for a child in her own way
Head up high she liked to say
God will hear me if I pray

[Verse]
Day and night she wouldn't quit
With every tear she felt the hit
But deep inside her faith was lit
Believin’ He would answer it

[Chorus]
Oh Hannah Oh Hannah
Clap your hands and shout hooray
God hears prayers big or small
He will catch you if you fall

[Verse]
Years went by she stayed so true
Talked to God like me and you
Then one day a dream came through
Her prayers had turned to baby blue

[Verse]
Samuel came and he was bright
God had heard through many nights
Hannah's smile was warm and light
Her heart was filled with pure delight

[Chorus]
Oh Hannah Oh Hannah
Clap your hands and shout hooray
God hears prayers big or small
He will catch you if you fall
