The Power of a Prayer - Matthew West

Dear God, it’s me

Calling out to You

Tonight I’m on my knees

Hoping You’ll come through

This one’s for my dad

Can You help him please

The world’s made him mad

At mom and me

And I’m asking you to bring his heart back home

Oh, the power of a prayer

Mom is all I have

But she’s alone again tonight

They always used to laugh

Now all they do is fight

You know she loves that man

But he’s so far from You

She’s done all she can

But she can’t break through

And she’s begging You to bring his heart back home

Oh, the power of a prayer

Just a whisper in the dark

Spoken from a broken heart

Holding on to one last strand of faith

Somewhere in the world right now

A desperate soul is crying out

Hoping Jesus really hears us when we pray

Dear God, do You

Recognize my voice

I haven’t talked to You

Since I was a little boy

But tonight I heard my son

Pray for his old man

It made me come undone

Made me understand

That only You can bring my heart back home

Oh, the power of a prayer
