The power of a prayer

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
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
