Power Of Prayer 

The journey had begun, to where we did not know,

But listening to the doctors, we knew we had a long way to go.

We might still be wandering through the valley of despair

If not for God's people and the power of their prayer.

Oh, the power of prayer is a wondrous, glorious thing.

It can set the captive heart free once again to sing.

It can lift the burdened soul up, though loaded down with care.

You must never underestimate the mighty power of prayer.

For the Father has instructed those called by his name

To put our faith and trust in Him, His promises to claim.

We can carry our burdens to His throne

And prayerfully leave them there;

Our lives are changed, our burdens lifted

Through the power of our prayer.

As we have fought life's battle, we have never been alone,

For the prayers of His people have brought us to the throne.

They've carried us to Jesus, His grace and love to share,

And we now know God's healing touch

Through the power of their prayer.

So when life's storm clouds gather and your heart is full of pain,

Just pray to the Father and like a gentle rain,

He'll wash away your anguish, He'll vanish every care;

He'll grant your every heart's desire

Through the power of your prayer.
