When everything seems lost
And all hope is gone
When nothing seems right
And you’re counting the cost
Lift your hear up to Heaven
And utter a prayer
And drive away despair
With the power, the power, the power
The power of prayer
‘Cause prayer has the power
To rid you of pain
To brighten your day
To make it sunny again
To banish the blues
To make life worth living all over again
The power
The power, the power, the power
The power of prayer.
So pray, pay, pray,
To Heaven above
For an end to suffering
And a world full of love
And suddenly you’ll find
Your troubles will melt away
For nothing can compare
With the power
The power, the power, the power
The power of prayer.
