Hopesong - When We Pray lyrics

rate me

It’s another busy work day working

Many problems come and go

And it feels his mind get flooded

Breaking down his very soul

Oh so gentle is the worry

Of the spirit deep within

And it’s almost too busy

To hear the voice of his king

And too long he seeks inclusion

Finally he gets away

Even though he doesn’t feel it

He bows his head and starts to pray

As the spirit gives him wisdom

A fire burns from deep within

Though the earthen things just faint

And the spirits oh they sing

And though how satan trembles

As he calls on Jesus’ name

And the gates of hell are broken

As promises are cleaned

All my pain moves to action

Father to obey,

Oh the wonder working power

When we pray

In the kitchen there’s a woman

Just an ordinary wife

Taking care of her children

And her husband fills her life

But she hears the spirit calling

She falls down on her knees

Don’t no one is there to see her

God is moved by her feet

And though how satan trembles

As he calls on Jesus’ name

And the gates of hell are broken

As promises are cleaned

All my pain moves to action

Father to obey,

Oh the wonder working power

When we pray

In the battle there’s a soldier

And his head is bound so low

He’s been wounded so deeply

And his battered by the foe

But the spirit starts to move in

Bringing life and hope within

All because someone is praying

The wounded soldier fights again

And though how satan trembles

As he calls on Jesus’ name

And the gates of hell are broken

As promises are cleaned

All my pain moves to action

Father to obey,

Oh the wonder working power

When we pray

And where are the boats are open

We …will be for all

God will not forget our labors

No matter how small

Oh, I … for rejoicing

When we gather round his word

We’ll be glad we live for Jesus

When we get old.
