He’s Only A Prayer Away Lyrics
Verse 1
One day I heard the ancient story
Of a cross on a hill far away
And now I’ve a friend up in glory
And He’s only a prayer away
Chorus
O He never would say: ‘I’m too busy today’
Every tear, every care, He’s promised He will share
And although He’s the Lord of all glory
Yet He’s only a prayer away
Verse 2
Sometimes I don’t feel much like praying
But He speaks words of love just the same
And deep in my soul there starts flowing
Living waters, songs of praise to His name
Chorus
O He never would say: ‘I’m too busy today’
Every tear, every care, He’s promised He will share
And although He’s the Lord of all glory
Yet He’s only a prayer away
Verse 3
If I keep the cross e’er before me
As I die I will live day by day
If I sin, If I fall, He’ll restore me
For He’s only a prayer away
Chorus
O He never would say: ‘I’m too busy today’
Every tear, every care, He’s promised He will share
And although He’s the Lord of all glory
Yet He’s only a prayer away
