[Verse 1]
G
Trouble knockin' on your window pane,
Em
Stormy weather at your door.
Dm                      C                        F        G
And the outlook for the day ahead- just like the day before.
G
People tell you prayin' changes things,
Em
But the words don't stop your fear.
Dm                   C                    F        G
Prayer is only pious rebelling, but for a Father's ear...

[Pre-Chorus]
            Bb    C              F      G
He will not turn away - when His people pray.

[Chorus]
Bb
When God's people pray,
             Eb                    Gm            F
And take the pains of earth to the doors of heaven.
Bb
When God's people pray,
         Eb                    F        G
There is hope reborn, there is sin forgiven.
        Cm       Gm      F     Bb   Eb
And miracles you can't explain away,
F         G         Em
When God' people pray.

[Verse 2]
G                                Em
Hopeless situation turns around, dilemma passes by and by.
Dm              F            C                            F     G
Look- there's a never-ending field of blue past that clouded sky!
                                  Em
He alone can know the need in me, before a single word begins;
Dm              F    C
The Holy Spirit intercedes for me.
       F        G
I will trust in Him!

[Pre-Chorus]
        Bb       C              F      G
He will not turn away- when His people pray.
