Prayer Changes

[Intro]

Somebody just look back over your life and

See where He brought you from

How many of you know?

[Hook]

Prayer changes (I heard that)

Prayer changes (I believe that)

Prayer changes (I know that)

Prayer changes things

Prayer changes (I heard that)

Prayer changes (I believe that)

Prayer changes (I know that)

Prayer changes things

[Verse 1]

Now I was in a real bad abusive relationship

Knowing that, that was no way for me to live

A young girl like me, raised up in a good family

Way too young to endure such misery

And every night I cry myself to sleep from all the pain

And the more I prayed for sunny days it seemed to rain

(He hit me) at any given time

(He hit me) no reason at all

(He hit me) so so hard

(He hit me) my God, sometimes I'd fall

Mama asked what happened to me

And I'd take up for him

She said that devil's a liar

And pray get rid of him

And now I'm going to school

Hitting those books

I'm doing fine

He's out my life

I'm not confused

Got peace of mind

Man I tell you

[Hook]

Prayer changes (it changes)

Prayer changes (oh it changes)

Prayer changes (I'm a witness that)

Prayer changes things (said I know)

Prayer changes (it changes)

Prayer changes (it changes)

Prayer changes (I'm a living witness that)

Prayer changes things

[Verse 2]

I was a freshman in college and uh

I had just made it on the basketball team

I had all the skills it took to make it

But on my grades I would get nothing but all D's

And the coach came to me

And had a talk with me about my career

Said if you don't get your grades up

I'm gonna have to sit you down this year

Man as tough as I was I broke down and cried

'Cause everybody knows me

Knows that basketball is my life

(Algebra) I studied hard

(Chemistry) I gave my all

(Calculus) oh my God

(English) so many flaws

Playing ball didn't look to good for me

My future, could not see

I had lost all my beliefs

And gave up on all my dreams

Then I went to church on Sunday

And the pastor began to preach

It was like he was talking to me

When he said I can do all things

In Christ that strengthens me

And for me that was enough

Now that I went from a D

All the way to an A plus

I tell you prayer changes things

[Hook]...

[Verse 3]

Me and my wife had a few problems

We thought that nothing could solve them

Listening to family members and so called friends

Man I tell you that's just how the devil creeps in

We were separated at least for a month or two

She was wilding in the clubs

And I was out there doing wrong too

And we would walk around the house

Putting each other down

I mean right in front of the kids

We would curse each other out

Then I was in a bad accident

And almost lost my life

And guess who was there for me

My wife

Now ain't it funny how He makes a way

When we said there was no way

I'm out the hospital and back at home

Planning another wedding day, I tell you

Prayer changes (it changes)

Prayer changes (prayer changes)

Prayer changes (prayer changes)

Prayer changes things (things, I'm a witness that)

Prayer changes (change)

Prayer changes (prayer changes)

Prayer changes (prayer changes)

Prayer changes things

[Verse 4]

Now all of these things were happening in one family

But that's okay, cause there's nothing God can't achieve

I don't care what the problem in your life may be

Cause who the Son sets free, is free indeed

And if you didn't know, now you should know

All you have to do is take this family life for example

Now Mom and Dad are married again

Four kids now, cause they just had twins

Little sister all grown up now

She's a lawyer, married with one child now

Two years, big brother's out of college

And man he's got his hands full

Blessed with skills, blessed with knowledge

Now he's playing for the Chicago Bulls

[Outro]
