The Power Of A Prayer

by Matthew West

Dear God it's me, calling out to You Tonight I'm on my knees Hoping You'll come though These ones for my dad Can You help him please? The worlds made him mad at mom and me And I'm asking You to bring his heart back home Ooh, ooh Ooh ooh Ooh, the power of a prayer Mama's all I have, but she's alone again tonight They always used to laugh Now all they do is fight She says I love that man He's so far from You She's done all she can But she can't break through And she's begging You To bring his heart back home Ooh, ooh Ooh ooh Ooh, the power of a prayer Ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, the power of a prayer Just a whisper in the dark Spoken to a broken heart Holding on to one last strand of faith Somewhere in the world right now A desperate soul is crying out Hoping Jesus really hears us When we pray, ooh Dear God, do You recognize my voice I haven't talked to You since I was a little boy Tonight I heard my son pray for his old man That made me come undone made me understand That only You can bring my heart back home Ooh, ooh Ooh ooh Ooh Ooh, the power of a prayer Ooh, ooh Ooh ooh Ooh Ooh, the power of a prayer
