Hand in hand at the altar
In tears of celebration
We'd never seen them smile like this before
She'd spent her life 'a prayin'
On bended knee 'a stayin'
And this morning he surrendered to the Lord
There's a message in her story
Only God can get the glory
When a child of His keeps knocking at the door
It Pays To Pray
It Pays to call upon His name
It Pays To Pray
To see a miracle displayed
You'll forget the word, impossible
When you seek the Savior's face
You'll know He will make a way
It Pays To Pray
You're tempted to quit prayin'
You feel He's never listenin'
The time has come and you must make a choice
Do you stop believin'
Forget what you've been seekin'
Or do you resolve that Jesus hears your voice?
He will hush the angel praises
Just to hear what you are sayin'
And at any moment now you will rejoice
Prayer is the way to His presence,
Prayer is the key to His storehouse of love
Prayer will bring us to His power
Don't ever give up just pray.
