It Pays To Pray

 Rodney Griffin (Greater Vision)

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 their 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

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

Prayer is just as big as God is
Prayer is just as strong as God is strong
Prayer can reach as far as God can reach
Don’t ever give up, just pray
