Standing in the Need of Prayer Lyrics

[Intro]
Well you see
In every life some rain must fall
But in this particular case
I'm talkin' about me and my family

[Verse 1]
One day I strayed away from God
I tried to make it on my own
But one thing I wanna let you know, people
That God always has a way
Of gettin' your attention
You see
The closest on to me, Lord, have mercy
She was inflicted with cancer
And it hurt me so bad
I couldn't do anything
But I fell down on my knees
And said Lord, if you just let her heal
Lord, I'll serve you until I die, Jesus, yes I will
I wound up tellin' the Lord these words

[Chorus]
Me, Lord (It's me, Lord; Lord, I need you)
Standin' in the need of prayer (just)
Me, Lord (Me, Lord; me, Lord, Lord; Lord, I do, I'm standin')
Standin' in the need of prayer (just)
Me Lord (Me, Lord; I-I do, I'm standin')
Standin' in the need of prayer (listen)
[Verse 2]
Prayer, prayer the key to the kingdom
Yes it is, ah
Prayer, oh, Lord have mercy
I knew it would open doors for you and me
Do you believe that?
Prayer, prayer will work miracles in your life, haha
I'm a livin' witness this evenin', ha
Oh, prayer will bring you wonder and charm back home
Yes it will now, ha
Supreme Jubilees, have you ever been burdened drown
And did you tell the Lord these words?
Did you tell him? Lord, have mercy, ha, it's me, Lord

[Outro]
Me, Lord
Just me, whoa
Me, Lord
Just me
Me, Lord
Just me
Me, Lord
Just me, whoa
Me, Lord
Just me, whoa
