When all is hopeless
In times of despair
Remember to turn to
The power of prayer
When they say it’s useless
Don’t waste your time here
Don’t underestimate
The power of prayer
When there’s no answer
Still persevere
For we place our trust in
The power of prayer
When miracles happen
Our story to share
So, all can rejoice in
The power of prayer
Something within
Of the soul is gnawing
A simple response
To answer the drawing
Through the church door
Real is the knowing
The power of Presence
Is here, overflowing
In deep stillness
Flows peace in the air
A nourishing silence
The Word received clear
Bound in one body
With every soul here
A beautiful binding
Of heaven to share
Easy surrender
Of falling into
Deep the desire
To stay here with You
Oh, the power
Oh, the light
Oh, the shining
Radiance bright
Oh, the simple
Humble might
Presence here
Within our sight
Oh, the mercy
From our plight
Oh, the grace
Of cleansing white
Oh, the wisdom
Heavens’ height
Gift to share
Of Your insight
Oh, the binding
Souls delight
Of the love
Embrace so tight
