Praying Woman
by Anne Wilson, Lainey Wilson

Album: REBEL

Verse 1
Before that rooster's crowin', she's kitchen table sittin'
Underlining the gospel and black coffee sippin'
When that sun gets to sinkin', the whole house is restin'
And she's thanking God for those fast asleep blessings
Might look like she ain't doin' much
But she's movin' mountains because

Chorus
That's the power, the power
Of two folded hands, bowed head, bended knees
When she whispers, "Dear Jesus" heaven can hear it
And that devil gets back to hell runnin'
That's the power
The power of a prayin' woman (Amen)
Oh, a prayin' woman (Amen)

Verse 2
She puts on a T-shirt, red lipstick, blue jeans
But she's wearin' armour that nobody sees
Every word she sent up, came answered back down
And I'm livin' proof 'cause this lost girl got found

Chorus
That's the power, the power
Of two folded hands, bowed head, bended knees
When she whispers, "Dear Jesus" heaven can hear it
And that devil gets back to hell runnin'
That's the power
The power of a prayin' woman (Amen)

Bridge
When a storm gets to brewin' and the war is a ragin' (Ragin')
Only one way through it (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You keep on prayin'
Find truth in the trouble, rise up from the rubble
When push comes to shovin'
You keep on prayin', woman
Prayin' woman

Chorus
That's the power (That's the power), the power (Oh-woah)
Of two folded hands, bowed head, bended knees (Bowed head, bended knees)
When she whispers, "Dear Jesus" heaven can hear it (Oh, can hear it)
And that devil gets back to hell runnin' (Oh, runnin')
That's the power (That's the power)
The power of a prayin' woman (Amen)
Of a prayin' woman
Of a prayin' woman (Amen)
Oh, oh-oh, oh, the power (Oh, the power)
Oh, the power (Oh, the power)
Of a prayin' woman (Of a prayin' woman)
