[Intro]
I just wanna tell you live or die sink or swim, prayer works
[?] For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health prayer works
[Chorus]
Yes it does, Have you tried it?
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
Don’t stop praying because it works, prayer works every time
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
[Verse 1]
In the hospital room, in the hospice, don’t stop praying
Prayer works, prayer works, I know it does
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
Prayer works, I tried it on myself, oh prayer works
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
Yeah, oh yeah
Listen, early in the morning
Oh Before the break of day
I get on my bended knees, and sometimes I leave it on my face
Just a little talk with Jesus, it’s how I start my day
I want you to know it, church
[Chorus]
Do you believe? I dare you to try it, hallelujah
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
Prayer works, yes it does, prayer works, oh Lord
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
Don’t stop praying
[Verse 2]
Now I’ve learned not to worry
God gave me the privilege to pray
He never ever told me that he will [?] got to say
But you know what, sometimes we all get up here [?] made my way
[Chorus]
Church, prayer works, yes it does, I tried it too many times and I know it works
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
When you talk to the Lord, he will answer, I did double dare you to try for yourself
(prayer works, prayer works, prayer works every time)
[Outro]
Oh let me tell you this, it does not matter what’s going on in your Life
Prayer works, that’s what mom talked to the Lord of many of times
Don’t you ever stop praying, no matter how bad it looks
(keep praying)
Don’t you give up on God
(keep on)
All you gotta do is just
(keep praying)
Whatever you do
(keep on)
Somebody said the [?] don’t believe the past that you're praying
(keep praying)
Don’t you listen to them
(keep on)
Keep on praying
(I’m here praying)
But when you get on that spirit you groove, stay right there
Keep on praying, don’t give up on God
Send up some [?] everyday
If there anybody right now that stand in the need of a miracle
The doctor that give you bad news, I come to tell you that you’re Cured
(keep on praying)
But hang on [?]
(I’m keep praying)
And I’m gonna pray for you, that he’ll step in the sick room
(keep on praying for you)
And cut down around your [?]
(I’ll keep praying)
‘Cause I pray, yes I am
(keep on praying for you)
I’m gonna pray for you
(I’ll keep praying)
I’m gonna lift you up in the [?]
(keep on praying for you)
And I’m gonna tell God all about you
(I’ll keep praying)
Keep on praying
