One Prayer Away
by Jonathan McReynolds

Album: Life Music

Verse 1
Flipped through the TV, nothing good's on
(To get your mind off of whats going wrong)
Look through the freezer like food can relieve ya
(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)

Pre-Chorus
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

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

Verse 2
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, and the misuse
You gotta be superhuman to face the day
But we ask you to have faith and simply seek His face
And expect it all to eventually change

Pre-Chorus
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

Chorus
Whatever you can't
Know He'll be there to do
Whatever you can't
Know He's only one
One prayer away

Bridge
I know I can't make it with only me
So it's nice to have a Father who will always be
One prayer away (one prayer away)

Outro
He said He'd never leave me nor forsake me, no
He'll always be (one prayer away)
He said He'd be with me even 'til the end of the earth (one prayer away)
And we know that the answer for the righteous is just one prayer away
