I Just Had to Pray
I may be down, but I've been down before.
And deep inside I know I'm gonna win.
With Your strength, we can open closing doors.
But can I lean on You 'til I get back on my feet again?
Can You hear me, hear me whisper?
Was it You who said, we only have to pray?
As I wait here for Your answer,
I find the strength in You to face another day.
I just had to pray.
When it's dark seems there's no one else but me.
And I feel so alone inside my room.
But I know that Your love will set me free,
when I see the light that's shining right ahead of You.
And I know You hear me, You hear me whisper.
Because, "My child," You said, "You only have to pray."
And as I wait here, I feel Your answer.
And I find the strength in You to face another day.
I just had to pray.
