They say the boy is near the end
The needle had its way again
His crying mother wonders why
The family gathers round his bed
What can be done, what can be said
Nothing that they can do tonight
But there is prayer
There's someone who is listening
Who knows the situation
Then acts because He cares
There is prayer
He'll give His full attention
And answer in His wisdom
Anytime or anywhere
There is prayer
Another marriage takes its toll
Their anger burns, their love is cold
They see no hope to ease their pain
Yet all bitterness they feel
Is not so great, it can't be healed
Down on their knees, a hope remains
But there is prayer
There's someone who is listening
Who knows the situation
Then acts because He cares
(I know He cares)
There is prayer
He'll give His full attention
Then answer in His wisdom
Anytime or anywhere
There is prayer
To a never-changing Father
He is where we need to turn
And He longs for us to learn
There is prayer
There is prayer
There's someone who is listening
Who knows the situation
Then He acts because He cares
Oh, there is prayer
He'll give His full attention
And answer in His wisdom
Anytime or anywhere
There is prayer
