Somebody just look back over your life and See where he brought you from How many of you know? Prayer changes (I heard that) Prayer changes (I believe that) Prayer changes (I know that) Prayer changes things Prayer changes (I heard that) Prayer changes (I believe that) Prayer changes (I know that) Prayer changes things Now I was in a real bad abusive relationship Knowing that, that was no way for me to live A young girl like me, raised up in a good family Way too young to endure such misery And every night I cry myself to sleep from all the pain And the more I prayed for sunny days it seemed to rain (He hit me) at any given time (He hit me) no reason at all (He hit me) so so hard (He hit me) my God, sometimes I'd fall Mama asked what happened to me And I'd take up for him She said that devil's a liar And pray get rid of him And now I'm going to school Hitting those books I'm doing fine He's out my life I'm not confused Got peace of mind Man I tell you Prayer changes (it changes) Prayer changes (oh it changes) Prayer changes (I'm a witness that) Prayer changes things (said I know) Prayer changes (it changes) Prayer changes (it changes) Prayer changes (I'm a living witness that) Prayer changes things I was a freshman in college and uh I had just made it on the basketball team I had all the sk**s it took to make it But on my grades I would get nothing but all D's And the coach came to me And had a talk with me about my career Said if you don't get your grades up I'm gonna have to sit you down this year Man as tough as I was I broke down and cried 'Cause everybody knows me Knows that basketball is my life (Algebra) I studied hard (Chemistry) I gave my all (Calculus) oh my God (English) so many flaws Playing ball didn't look to good for me My future, could not see I had lost all my beliefs And gave up on all my dreams Then I went to church on Sunday And the pastor began to preach It was like he was talking to me When he said I can do all things In Christ that strengthens me And for me that was enough Now that I went from a D All the way to an A plus I tell you prayer changes things Prayer changes Prayer changes (prayer) Prayer changes (it changes things) Prayer changes things (oh) Prayer changes (said it changes) Prayer changes (things) Prayer changes (I'm a living witness that) Prayer changes things Me and my wife had a few problems We thought that nothing could solve them Listening to family members and so called friends Man I tell you that's just how the devil creeps in We were separated at least for a month or two She was wilding in the clubs And I was out there doing wrong too And we would walk around the house Putting each other down I mean right in front of the kids We would curse each other out Then I was in a bad accident And almost lost my life And guess who was there for me My wife Now ain't it funny how He makes a way When we said there was no way I'm out the hospital and back at home Planning another wedding day, I tell you Prayer changes (it changes) Prayer changes (prayer changes) Prayer changes (prayer changes) Prayer changes things (things, I'm a witness that) Prayer changes (change) Prayer changes (prayer changes) Prayer changes (prayer changes) Prayer changes things Now all of these things were happening in one family But that's okay, cause there's nothing God can't achieve I don't care what the problem in your life may be Cause who the Son sets free, is free indeed And if you didn't know, now you should know All you have to do is take this family life for example Now Mom and Dad are married again Four kids now, cause they just had twins Little sister all grown up now She's a lawyer, married with one child now Two years, big brother's out of college And man he's got his hands full Blessed with sk**s, blessed with knowledge Now he's playing for the Chicago Bulls Prayer changes (I'm a
