What If His People Prayed
[Verse 1]
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 and stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

[Chorus]
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their own way

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their own way
He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He’s answered loud and clear, Yeah
If only we would pray

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
What if His people prayed
(If my people called by my name)
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
(If they'll humble themselves and pray)
And turn from their own way
He said that they would hear
(If my people called by my name)
His promise has been made
He’s answered loud and clear, Yeah
(If they'll humble themselves and pray)
If only we would pray
[Outro]
What if His people prayed
