this song probably has some of my favorite lyrics ever, because prayer truly is more powerful than we tend to give credit to. when our friends are hurting or sick, we tend to say things like: 'well, i hope things get better soon,' or, 'aww, i hope you feel better.' how about we stop just "hoping" and start doing something about everything going on in this world, including your life and relationships with friends & family, and start with prayer. next time you hear about somebody hurting in any way, whether physically or emotionally, or even spiritually, pray for them, let them know that they are in your prayers. honestly, prayer can change the world, so you expect Miss America to bring world peace? how about you start expecting yourself and others to start bringing our own worlds peace.
"What If His People Prayed"
by Casting Crowns
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
What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And turn from their own way
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 doWhat if His people prayed
And those who bare His nameWould humbly seek His face
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
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
And those who bare 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
What if His people prayed
