Only a Prayer Away

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.

Oh, 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

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.

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.
