Verse 1
When the world is on your shoulder
And it's hard to sleep.
When you feel that life is oh so hard.
If you're feeling all alone
And nothing's going right.
Here's a thought that always gets me by.
Refrain
Why don't you pray?
Pray to God and He will help you.
Pray to God above
Why don't you pray?
God is there to ease your troubled mind
Trust the Lord to help you and to guide you on your way.
Pray to God to stand right by your side
Verse 2
When the sun is shining on you
And everything is right
When the pieces fall right into place
In the moment when you think
that you can do no wrong
Remember how you made it there
Refrain
Why don't you pray?
Pray to God and He will help you.
Pray to God above
Why don't you pray?
God is there to ease your troubled mind
Trust the Lord to help you and to guide you on your way.
Pray to God to stand right by your side
Verse 3
When the world and all its pleasures
Are beckoning to you.
When the world is tearing at you apart
You know what is right and
What the Lord wants you to do
Look to the Lord for strength to see you through
Refrain
Why don't you pray?
Pray to God and He will help you.
Pray to God above
Why don't you pray?
God is there to ease your troubled mind
Trust the Lord to help you and to guide you on your way.
Pray to God to stand right by your side
Refrain
Why don't you pray?
Pray to God and He will help you.
Pray to God above
Why don't you pray?
God is there to ease your troubled mind
Trust the Lord to help you and to guide you on your way.
Pray to God to stand right by your side
