Song lyrics Prayer changes by R Kelly

Somebody just look back over your life and
See where he brought you from
How many of you know?

Prayer changes (I heard that)
Prayer changes (I believe that)
Prayer changes (I know that)
Prayer changes things
Prayer changes (I heard that)
Prayer changes (I believe that)
Prayer changes (I know that)
Prayer changes things

Now I was in a real bad abusive relationship
Knowing that, that was no way for me to live
A young girl like me, raised up in a good family
Way too young to endure such misery
And every night I cry myself to sleep from all the pain
And the more I prayed for sunny days it seemed to rain
(He hit me) at any given time
(He hit me) no reason at all
(He hit me) so so hard
(He hit me) my God, sometimes Iīd fall
Mama asked what happened to me
And Iīd take up for him
She said that devilīs a liar
And pray get rid of him
And now Iīm going to school
Hitting those books
Iīm doing fine
Heīs out my life
Iīm not confused
Got peace of mind
Man I tell you

Prayer changes (it changes)
Prayer changes (oh it changes)
Prayer changes (Iīm a witness that)
Prayer changes things (said I know)
Prayer changes (it changes)
Prayer changes (it changes)
Prayer changes (Iīm a living witness that)
Prayer changes things

I was a freshman in college and uh
I had just made it on the basketball team
I had all the skills it took to make it
But on my grades I would get nothing but all Dīs
And the coach came to me
And had a talk with me about my career
Said if you donīt get your grades up
Iīm gonna have to sit you down this year
Man as tough as I was I broke down and cried
īCause everybody knows me
Knows that basketball is my life
(Algebra) I studied hard
(Chemistry) I gave my all
(Calculus) oh my God
(English) so many flaws
Playing ball didnīt look to good for me
My future, could not see
I had lost all my beliefs
And gave up on all my dreams
Then I went to church on Sunday
And the pastor began to preach
It was like he was talking to me
When he said I can do all things
In Christ that strengthens me
And for me that was enough
Now that I went from a D
All the way to an A plus
I tell you prayer changes things

Prayer changes
Prayer changes (prayer)
Prayer changes (it changes things)
Prayer changes things (oh)
Prayer changes (said it changes)
Prayer changes (things)
Prayer changes (Iīm a living witness that)
Prayer changes things

Me and my wife had a few problems
We thought that nothing could solve them
Listening to family members and so called friends
Man I tell you thatīs just how the devil creeps in
We were separated at least for a month or two
She was wilding in the clubs
And I was out there doing wrong too
And we would walk around the house
Putting each other down
I mean right in front of the kids
We would curse each other out
Then I was in a bad accident
And almost lost my life
And guess who was there for me
My wife
Now ainīt it funny how He makes a way
When we said there was no way
Iīm out the hospital and back at home
Planning another wedding day, I tell you

Prayer changes (it changes)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes things (things, Iīm a witness that)
Prayer changes (change)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes things

Now all of these things were happening in one family
But thatīs okay, cause thereīs nothing God canīt achieve
I donīt care what the problem in your life may be
Cause who the Son sets free, is free indeed
And if you didnīt know, now you should know
All you have to do is take this family life for example
Now Mom and Dad are married again
Four kids now, cause they just had twins
Little sister all grown up now
Sheīs a lawyer, married with one child now
Two years, big brotherīs out of college
And man heīs got his hands full
Blessed with skills, blessed with knowledge
Now heīs playing for the Chicago Bulls

Prayer changes (Iīm a witness yeah)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes things (woah when it looks like)
Prayer changes (you canīt go on)
Prayer changes (I know that prayer)
Prayer changes (changes things)
Prayer changes things
Prayer changes (in the middle of the storm)
Prayer changes (prayer will calm)
Prayer changes (cause it changes things)
Prayer changes things (yeah)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes (prayer changes)
Prayer changes (prayer changes things)
Prayer changes things (woah)
Prayer changes (even if youīre doing wrong)
Prayer changes (even if your moneyīs gone)
Prayer changes (if youīre put out your home)
Prayer changes things (yeah come on)
Prayer changes (if you canīt find a friend)
Prayer changes (at your journeyīs end)
Prayer changes (feel you just canīt win)
Prayer changes things (woah woah)
Prayer changes (youīre really going through)
Prayer changes (and troubleīs chasing you)
Prayer changes (Heavenīs got a hold on you)
Prayer changes things (yeah)
Prayer changes (when it seems you canīt go on)
Prayer changes (and all your strength is gone)
Prayer changes (hold on it wonīt be long)
Prayer changes things (I know prayer is gonna change)
Prayer changes (drinking or doing drugs)
Prayer changes (even if youīre running the streets)
Prayer changes (even in the music field)
Prayer changes things (rock, pop or R&B)
Prayer changes (prayer will change)
Prayer changes (prayer will change)
Prayer changes (prayer will change)
Prayer changes things...
