In the darkest hour of the night During the hardest time of life When unsure if things will be all right You should pray!
When your mind lacks peace And your heart is too broken to beat When you struggle to stand on your feet You ought to pray!
When some things do not make sense And everyone close becomes distant When your faith is shaken in an instant You must pray!
When the sun is about to set And your noontime is filled with tears When the midnight is covered with fear Wake up and pray!
When in the battlefield And you have misplaced your shield When there is no sign you could win Look upon the hills and pray!
When the race becomes too long And you cannot keep going on When everything seems over Kneel and pray!
For prayer will Put you back together Set you in a good place forever Keep you going no matter what Give you something to smile about Remove the weight off your shoulders Relieve you from discomfort Heal even a gaping wound Help you follow the right way Take you through another day Each and every day Remember to pray Because prayer works!
