One Prayer Away Songtext
von Jonathan McReynolds

I just try to make it simple, clear

Flipped through the TV, nothing good′s on
To get your mind off of what's going wrong
Look through the freezer like food can relieve you
From all of the emptiness left in your heart
No beautiful woman or human affection
Fixes the mess that you′ve dealt with so long

Nothing on Earth can keep you lifted
Chemical highs are eventually gone
I know that you've heard this before
And you really wish the church could say more to you
'Cause God don′t seem as close as you want him to

Please remember however he can
Know he′ll be there to do
Whatever you can't, know he′s only one
One prayer away


You're looking for shelter from all the bad weather
Desperately trying to flee from the cold
Generational curses, getting worse and
Family demons are centuries old
In the midst of the confusion, the abuse, the misuse
You gotta be super human to face the day

But we ask you to have faith, simply seek his face
And expect it all to eventually change
I know you′ve ignored this before
But I'll do my best to make all this clear to you
Even when you can′t say nothing, God's hearing you

Whatever you can't
Know he′ll be there to do
Whatever you can′t, oh-ooh
Know he's only one
One prayer away

I know I can′t make it with only me
So it's nice to have a father who will always be, oh-oh-oh-oh-ah-ah-ah
One prayer away, yeah
One prayer away


He say he′ll never leave me
Nor forsake me, no, oh
You'll always be (one prayer away), oh
He say he′d be with me until the end of the earth (one prayer away)
And we know that the answer for the righteous is yes
One prayer away
