Shirley Caesar - We Can Change The World lyrics

We can change this world if we pray, yes we can We can change this old mean world if we pray, yes Now if we'd all bow down on our bended knees And cry, oh Lord, have mercy if you please Now listen if you will Now, if we pray and turn from our wicked ways If we pray and turn from our wicked ways God will heal our bodies and save our souls He will heal our land today Now blessed are they that mourn I got something I wanna tell you right now For those of you that don't believe me right now I've come to tell you that prayer sure do change things And god can work it out every time Somebody say, how do you know, Sister Caesar? One day I was so sick, I got sick of being sick And it looked like all the doctors' medicine wouldn't do me no good But I went down a deep ol' valley wherein I told god all about me And he healed my body that day, yes he did For those of you right now, that cannot see your way For those of you that's been sick for so long We change this world if we pray Now, that's all you've got to do We can change this world if we pray If we'd all go down, bow down on our bended knees And cry, Lord, have mercy if you please Now, I've got one more thing I got to tell you and then I'll be through It looks like everywhere men and women are haters of one another But the bible said if my people that are called by my name Would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from your wicked ways I heard him said, I'll heal your land When we think about this land that we're living in right now Look ahere look ayonder, looks like everywhere our children are dying And our mothers and fathers are crying Seems like Satan has the upper hand But God is still in command and we can change this world if we pray We can change this world if we pray We can change this world if we pray
