Prayers of the Righteous

Prayers of the Righteous
(Jacob McGowen)

1st Verse:
They can free a captive soul
Entangled in sin and shame
They can hold those who are broken
Heal the sick and the lame
They can stop a raging storm
From wreaking havoc instantly
They can lead the wayward home
Help anyone heal from grief

Chorus:
Oh, the prayers of the righteous availeth much
Because the Savior who hears them
With His own touch will see and
Tend to all needs no matter what they be
Yes, the prayers of the righteous
Are heard by He!

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

2nd Verse:
They can shift the minds of leaders
Hell-bent on evil schemes
They can work mighty wonders
And grant complicated dreams
They can heal divided nations
And bring peace to the lands
They can comfort the forgotten
Those others fail to understand

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

Bridge:
From a city street or ghetto
From a farm or a small town
From a mountaintop or valley
There will always be the sound
Of the ones that serve the Savior
And call Christ the King
Songs of praise and intercession
Will be their constant offering
