Lyrics Matthew West

Matthew West

The Power Of A Prayer

dear God it's me

calling out to you

tonight I'm on my knees

hoping you come though

this ones for my dad

can you help him please

the worlds made him mad

and mum and me

and I'm asking you to bring his heart back home

ohhh ohhh

ohhh ohhh

the power of a prayer

mama's all I have

but shes alone again tonight

they always used to laugh

now all hey do is fight

she says I love that man

hes so far from you

shes done all she can

but she cant bring him through

and shes begging you

to bring his heart back home

ohhh ohhh

ohhh ohhh

the power of a prayer

ohhh ohhh

ohhh ohhh

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

this song is crying out

hoping Jesus really hears us

when we pray

dear God

will you recognize my voice

I havent talked to you

since I was a little boy

tonight I heard my son

pray for his old man

made me come undone

made me understand

that only you can bring my heart back home

ohhh ohhh

ohhh ohhh

the power of a prayer

ohhh ohhh

ohhh ohhh

the power of a prayer
