Shadows creeping up behind you
You hear the whispers in the dark
The past seems closer than the present
You feel the beating of your heart
Timeless tales of vast corruption
Are the headlines of the day
Oh, you're just one step from crossing over
Just a simple prayer away
A prayer away

Some may come because they're weary
Of trudging through their troubled days
Some may come because they're tired
Of trying all the different ways
Oh, Jesus offers us forgiveness
And a life so full
A life so free
There is pain
There is hurt
But there is healing
In Jesus' name
A prayer away
A prayer away

On your feet, on your knees
Can be anywhere you please
'Cause He's only a prayer away
Yes, He's only a prayer away
At your work, in your car
Doesn't matter where you are
'Cause He's only a prayer away
Yes, He's only a prayer away

On your feet, on your knees
Can be anywhere you please
'Cause He's only a prayer away
Yes, He's only a prayer away
At your work, in your car
Doesn't matter where you are
'Cause He's only a prayer away
Yes, He's only a prayer away
