He's Only a Prayer Away - Shirley Caesar

He’s the master of my ship

The keeper of the wind

He’s the captain of my soul

He’s my trusted friend, yes He is

And when you ask of Him you will receive

One of His miracles if only you believe

And when you’re down and out and on your knees

Jesus is only a prayer away

And if you feel the need to talk to somebody

Who’ll hear every word you say

Just open up heart and talk to Jesus

Open up your heart to Him and pray

And when you are tempted, don’t give in to sin

Just rise and walk away

Your tomorrows all depend on your today’s, yes it does

And when the darkness comes, don’t be afraid

Just put your trust in Him

He’s always been here

And the Lord is right here to stay

Jesus is only a prayer away

And if you feel the need to talk to somebody

Who’ll hear every word you say

Just open up heart and talk to Jesus

Open up your heart to Him and pray

And when you ask of Him you will receive

One of His miracles if only you believe

And when you’re down and out and on your knees

Jesus is only a prayer away

Jesus is only a prayer away

Yes, He is only a prayer away

I dare you to step in

He is only a prayer away

Whatever it is

Jesus is only a prayer away

I know that I know that I know He is

Hallelujah
