Trouble knockin' on your window pane
Stormy weather at your door
And the outlook for the day ahead
Like the day before
People tell you prayin' changes things
But the words don't stop the fear
The prayer is only pious repelling
Without 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 merely 'cause you can't
Explain a way
When God's people pray
Hopeless situation turns around
Dilemma pa**es by and by
Look, there's a never-ending field of blue
Past your 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
No, 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 merely 'cause you can't
Explain a way
(When God's people pray)
When God's people pray
There is hope reborn
There is sin forgiven
And merely 'cause you cannot
Explain a way
When God's people pray
Take the pains of earth
To the doors of heaven
When God's People pray
There is hope reborn
And sin forgiven
And merely 'cause you cannot
Explain a way, no
No, no, no
When God's people pray
Take it home
When God's people pray!
There is hope reborn, sin forgiven)
There is sin forgiven
And merely 'cause you can't
Explain a way, no, no
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 merely 'cause you can't
Explain a way
When God's people pray
Oh, When God's people pray
When God's people pray
