I woke up this morning
I was feeling kind of down
‘Cause I went to bed with a problem
A solution could not be found
I thought that I could run away
But, then it smacked me, in my face
I was hoping it would stop
But it did not
See if I'm going to have to deal with this
God you must take control of this
‘Cause I have no more tears to fall
My pillow and sheets done soaked them all
Down on my knees to pray
But this thorn in my side won't go away
I am dreaming
I'm so weak
God, I know you're listening to me
Chorus
I know you hear me
I know you hear me
I know you hear me
I know you hear me when I pray
Repeat
Those out there
Who question God
You may feel like you're all alone
And life is hard
What am I supposed to do?
Which way should I choose?
If I go left, what's right?
You see I'm just making ends meet
Barely got enough to feed my family
We ain't got a steak on the grill
But that don't take full of bills
As I sit here and go through
I see the repo's coming soon
Bad news I seem to earn
I ask you God, when's my turn?
Chorus
I've been waiting on an answer
Desperately from you
Lord I need you right now
Don't know what to do
I'm not moving by myself
I consult nobody else
So I call on you
I've been waiting here so long
By your strength I carry on
I'm still holding on
Faith is going strong
I just want to do right
So I won't do wrong
Chorus
I know
When I pray
Prayer still works
This is what I say
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
As a matter of fact
When I got up this morning
I looked to the hills
I looked to the hills, oh
I'm going to stay right here, Jesus
I'm going to stay right here, Lord
Prayer changes things
I know you hear me, oh, oh
Because faith
Connected with prayer
Will give you deliverance
Hallelujah
With a little praise on the top
I know you hear me, oh
I tell you all of my problems
I tell you all of my burdens
Prayer changes things
I know you hear me
I know you heal me
I know you feel me
I know you hear me
I done turned down my plate
I done turned off my radio
I don't even watch much TV
Because I've got to wait right here
I'm going to wait right here
I'm going to wait right here
I know you hear me when I pray
