Power of a Prayer Lyrics

He gets done with the chores

And goes to the barn

Saddles up the roan

And rides around the farm

His crops are dying

And the cattle's getting weak

It's been a long time

Since water filled the creek

And every night he prays

That it'll come a good rain

To fill the creek for the cattle

And give a little life to the grain

With faith in his heart he holds on tight

Praying the skies will break in the night

His children are hungry

Food is getting scarce

Nothing in the pantry

And the cupboards are bare

They get what they need

From the second-hand store

His children are made fun of

For being so poor

And every night he prays

That it'll come a good rain

To fill the creek for the cattle

And give a little life to the grain

With faith in his heart he holds on tight

Praying the skies will break in the night

He never lost faith through struggle and pain

With every passing day he'd bow his head and pray

Though the sky was dry he'd still remain

Believing in the storm that would come his way

Then late one night

While staring at the wall

He heard distant thunder

And raindrops begin to fall

He ran outside

And he looked to the sky

He knew the drought was over

And a tear fell from his eye

And every night he prays

That it'll come a good rain

To fill the creek for the cattle

And give a little life to the grain

With faith in his heart he holds on tight

Praying the skies will break in the night

Never again did he doubt

The power of a prayer

Because his crops aren't dying

And his cupboards aren't bare
