I woke up this morning
I was feeling kind of down
âCause I went to bed with a problem
A solution could not be found
I thought that I could run away
But, then it smacked me, in my face
I was hoping it would stop
But it did not
See if Iâm going to have to deal with this
God you must take control of this
âCause I have no more tears to fall
My pillow and sheets done soaked them all
Down on my knees to pray
But this thorn in my side wonât go away
I am dreaming
Iâm so weak
God, I know youâre listening to me
Chorus
I know you hear me
I know you hear me
I know you hear me
I know you hear me when I pray
Repeat
Those out there
Who question God
You may feel like youâre all alone
And life is hard
What am I supposed to do?
Which way should I choose?
If I go left, whatâs right?
You see Iâm just making ends meet
Barely got enough to feed my family
We ainât got a steak on the grill
But that donât take full of bills
As I sit here and go through
I see the repoâs coming soon
Bad news I seem to earn
I ask you God, whenâs my turn?
Chorus
Iâve been waiting on an answer
Desperately from you
Lord I need you right now
Donât know what to do
Iâm not moving by myself
I consult nobody else
So I call on you
Iâve been waiting here so long
By your strength I carry on
Iâm still holding on
Faith is going strong
I just want to do right
So I wonât do wrong
Chorus
I know
When I pray
Prayer still works
This is what I say
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
As a matter of fact
When I got up this morning
I looked to the hills
I looked to the hills, oh
Iâm going to stay right here, Jesus
Iâm going to stay right here, Lord
Prayer changes things
I know you hear me, oh, oh
Because faith
Connected with prayer
Will give you deliverance
Hallelujah
With a little praise on the top
I know you hear me, oh
I tell you all of my problems
I tell you all of my burdens
Prayer changes things
I know you hear me
I know you heal me
I know you feel me
I know you hear me
I done turned down my plate
I done turned off my radio
I donât even watch much TV
Because Iâve got to wait right here
Iâm going to wait right here
Iâm going to wait right here
I know you hear me when I pray
