Prayer Changes Things - Original Mono - Mahalia Jackson

I’ve heard the story of David

And I’ve heard of Daniel inside the lion’s din

Yes, I’ve heard of Job and his afflictions, oh Lord

How they all kept the faith right til the end, yes til the end

But when all hope, Lord, have seemed to fail,

That’s when my God, yes, His power prevails.

One thing I know, yes I really know

Prayer changes things

Lord, it changes things

Yeah, do you know

Prayer changes things

Do you know God, child

Prayer changes things

I’ve been out on the stormy raging sea

Lord, liftin' (me)

Yeah, I been hungry

I’ve been sick

I’ve been filled with misery

But, along came Jesus

I’ll tell the world God rescued me One thing I know, yes I know

Prayer changes things, God knows

Umm, you know prayer gives you strength when you’re fallin, hmmm…

And it’ll unlock doors that been closed so long in your face.

Oh and it will raise a friend when you feel friendless, my Lord.

And it will drive all your doubts and fears away, oh Lord.

Yes, the world may crush you, but you don’t have to fret

My God remembers when others forget, yes one thing I know

Yes, I surely know, prayer changes things

Hey, do you know prayer, prayer changes things

Child I’ve tried God and I know prayer changes things

I’ve been out on the stormy, Lord Lord, raging sea

Lord, liftin' (me)

Yeah, I been hungry

I’ve been sick

I’ve been filled with misery

But, along came Jesus

I’ll tell the world God rescued me One thing I know, yes

Prayer ew, eww, eww

Prayer changes things
