Hand in hand at the altar in tears of celebration,
We'd never seen them smile like this before.
She'd spent her life a praying,
On bended knees a staying,
And this morning, He surrendered to the Lord.
There's a message in her story,
Only God can get the glory,
When a child of His keeps knocking at the door.
It pays to pray, it pays to call upon His name,
It pays to pray to see a miracle displayed.
You'll forget the word, "Impossible",
When you seek the Savior's face.
You'll know He will make a way,
It pays to pray.
You're tempted to quit praying,
You feel He's never listening,
The time has come and you must make a choice:
Do you stop believing, forget what you've been seeing,
Or do you resolve that Jesus hears your voice?
He will hush the angel praises just to hear what you are saying,
And at any moment now you will rejoice.
It pays to pray, it pays to call upon His name
It pays to pray to see a miracle displayed.
You'll forget the word, "Impossible",
When you seek the Savior's face.
You'll know He will make a way
It pays to pray.
You'll forget the word, "Impossible",
When you seek the Savior's face.
You'll know He will make a way,
It pays to pray.
Prayer is just as big as God is,
Prayer is just as strong as God is strong,
Prayer can reach as far as God can reach.
Don't ever give up, just pray.
It pays to pray, it pays to call upon His name,
It pays to pray to see a miracle displayed.
You'll forget the word, "Impossible",
When you seek the Savior's face.
You'll know He will make a way,
It pays to pray.
You'll know He will make a way,
It pays to pray.
Pray, just pray,
It pays to pray.
