Prayer album lyrics

Lyrics from Teach us to pray, by Mike Burn, published by Ichthus Christian Fellowship, London, UK

Pray at all times, never ceasing
Ask for what you need with thanksgiving
Join together in agreement
And together we’ll see the kingdom come

Give thanks to the Father for he hears all our prayers
Give thanks to the Son for he prays for us
Give thanks to the Spirit for when we don’t know how to pray
He will plead with God on our behalf

When you pray, go into your own room
When you pray, close the door (x2)
Pray to Father, who is unseen
And your Father, who sees what you do
He’ll reward you

When you pray, don’t use lots of long words
When you pray, as some people do
They think if their prayers go on for ages
God will hear, but that isn’t true
For your Father already knows
Yes your Father, he knows what you need
And will answer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come, your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For the kingdom, the power and the glory
Are yours, now and forever, Amen

Oh I’m fighting, but not against people
It’s a battle of good and evil
But I don’t need a gun
I don’t need a sword
I don’t need sticks and I don’t need stones
My weapons are not of this world

I’ll fight with a prayer of faith
I’ll fight with a shout of praise
And my weapon is the Word of God
It’s sharper than any sword
It cuts through the darkness of this world
And the enemy’s walls come crashing down
As God’s kingdom get built

Chorus Prayer can make a difference
                Prayer can make a difference
                Prayer can make a difference
                So pray! (x2)

Through prayer our God can heal
We believe in miracles
Through prayer a whole situation can change
Through prayer a person can be born again

Nothing has such power
As a prayer to God my Father
There’s no-one else who can do what he can
I want to live my life according to his plan

If you believe, you will receive
Whatever you ask for in prayer (x2)
Matthew 21, verse 22

Is anyone in trouble, they should pray
Is anyone happy, let them sing songs of praise (x2)
Is anyone sick let them call for the elders
And the prayer of faith will make the sick person well (x2)
This piece of advice can clearly be seen
In James chapter 5, 13 to 15

Be joyful in hope, patient in your troubles
And faithful in prayer (x2)
Romans 12 verse 12 says be faithful in prayer(x2)

In Matthew 26, verse 41
Jesus spoke these words to his friends:
Watch and pray, watch and pray
So that you don’t fall into temptation
Watch and pray, watch and pray
The spirit is willing but the body is weak

Oh don’t worry about anything
But in all your prayers ask God for what you need with a thankful heart (x2)
And the peace of God beyond all understanding
Will keep your heart and mind safe in Christ Jesus
So don’t worry
