Year: 2003
What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let Satan have one more?
What if the church, for Heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed Hell's rusted gates?
What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their own ways?
And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way?
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day
What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth?
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do?
What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their own ways?
He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'd answer loud and clear, yeah
If only we would pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
What if His people prayed
(If My people called by my name)
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
(If they'll humble themselves and pray)
And turn from their own ways?
He said that He would hear
(If My people called by my name)
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear, yeah
(If they'll humble themselves and pray)
If only we would pray
What if His people prayed?
(If My people called by my name)
(If His people would pray)
(If they'll humble themselves and pray)
(If My people called by my name)
