What If His People Prayed

 
Verse 1
            Eb    Ebsus   Eb
What if the armies of the Lord
              Eb     Ebsus     Eb
Picked up and dusted off their swords,
         Ab      Dbsus2  Ab  
Vowed to set the captive free
            Cm7   Absus2   Eb
And not let Satan have one more.
            Eb         Absus2   Eb
What if the church for heaven's sake,
        Eb         Absus  Cm7
Finally stepped up to the plate,
               Absus2  Eb
Took a stand upon God's promise
    Absus2               Eb
And stormed hell's rusty gates?

Chorus 1
                         Bb Cm7 Ab
What if His people prayed,
                   Cm7    Bb
And those who bear His name
                             Cm7 Ab
Would only seek His face, yeah,
                    Cm7    Bb
And turn from their own ways?

Verse 2
               Eb     Ebsus Eb
And what would happen if we prayed
                 Eb    Ebsus    Eb
For those raised up to lead the way?
           Ab      Dbsus2       Ab  
Then maybe kids in school could pray
           Cm7      Absus2       Eb
And unborn children see light of day.
            Eb        Absus2 Eb
What if the life that we  pursue
            Eb     Absus2  Cm7
Came from a hunger for the truth?
                  Absus2    Eb
What if the fam'ly turned to Jesus,
               Absus2        Eb
Stopped asking Oprah what to do?

Chorus 2
                           Cm7 Ab
He said that they would hear,
                Cm7     Bb
His promise has been made.
                                 Cm7 Ab
He's answered loud and clear, yeah,
           Cm7      Bb
If only we would pray.

    His promise has been made.
 By My      name

He'll answer loud and clear, ye -  ah,
                                If they'll humble

 Themselves and    pray.
