Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I just want to give you all
See you in every part of my life
You have all my heart and soul
It's a shame I really thought that
I can live my life without you and not lose control
It's a shame I didn't want to see
It was hard to face reality
I was lost when you found me
I'm a living testimony
I'm free
Ohhhh
My devotion is yours
Every breath I take is yours
All my emotions are yours
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he answers)
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he heals)
Cause he's the one that saves
He's the one that reigns
When we call his name
That's when chains start to break
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he answers)
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he heals)
He sees every tear (Pray)
He's bigger than our fears
With us through the pain and he'll always be near (Pray)
This is why we pray
Been through a lot, tryna survive, stayin' alive
Weight of the world, weight of my problems, all on the rise
Father in heaven, hollow ya name, ya kingdom will reign
And I know you're always staying the same
Mama always told me to
Pray until you come through
Back when we was on the pew
I just wanna look to you
I'm just gonna lean on
Ohhhh
My devotion is yours
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he answers)
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he heals)
Cause he's the one that saves
He's the one that reigns
When we call his name
That's when chains start to break
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he answers)
This is why we pray (Pray)
(Cause he heals)
He sees every tear (Pray)
He's bigger than our fears
With us through the pain and he'll always be near (Pray)
This is why we pray (Pray)
This is why we pray (Pray)
This is why we pray (Pray)
(I'll never stop, I'll never stop, I'll never stop praying, no) (Pray)
This is why we pray
This is why we pray
This is why we pray
Ohhhh
This is why we pray
