Shirley Caesar - He's Only a Prayer Away lyrics

He's the master of my ship The keeper of the wind He's the captain of my soul He's my trusted friend, yes He is And when you ask of Him you will receive One of His miracles if only you believe And when you're down and out and on your knees Jesus is only a prayer away And if you feel the need to talk to somebody Who'll hear every word you say Just open up heart and talk to Jesus Open up your heart to Him and pray And when you are tempted, don't give in to sin Just rise and walk away Your tomorrows all depend on your todays, yes it does And when the darkness comes, don't be afraid Just put your trust in Him He's always been here And the Lord is right here to stay Jesus is only a prayer away And if you feel the need to talk to somebody Who'll hear every word you say Just open up heart and talk to Jesus Open up your heart to Him and pray And when you ask of Him you will receive One of His miracles if only you believe And when you're down and out and on your knees Jesus is only a prayer away Jesus is only a prayer away Yes, He is only a prayer away I dare you to step in He is only a prayer away Whatever it is Jesus is only a prayer away I know that I know that I know He is Hallelujah
