Trouble knockin' on your window pane,
Stormy weather at your door
And the outlook for the day ahead- just like the day before
People tell you prayin' changes things,
But the words don't stop your fear
Prayer is only pious rebelling, but for a Father's ear

He will not turn away- when His people pray

When God's people pray,
And take the pains of earth to the doors of heaven
When God's people pray,
There is hope reborn, there is sin forgiven
And miracles you can't explain await,
When God' people pray

Hopeless situation turns around, dilemma passes by and by
Look- there's a never-ending field of blue past that clouded sky!
He alone can know the need in me, before a single word begins;
The Holy Spirit intercedes for me
I will trust in Him!

He will not turn away- when His people pray

When God's people pray,
And take the pains of earth to the doors of heaven
When God's people pray,
There is hope reborn! There is sin forgiven!
And miracles you can't explain await!
When God's people pray!
And take the pains of earth to the doors of heaven
When God's people pray!
There is hope reborn, there is sin forgiven
And miracles you can't explain await!

When God's people pray!
And take the pains of earth to the doors of heaven
When God's people pray!
There is hope reborn! There is sin forgiven!
And miracles you can't explain await!

When God's people pray,
When God's people pray,
Oh, When God's people pray
