Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Pressure all around me, Lord You see the weight
I've tried to carry it, but it’s more than I can take
I've worked and waited, done all I know to do
Now I’m standing here, Jesus, depending on You
Because pressure won't take a break
Every door I knock kept telling me to wait
Felt like I was invisible, like nobody knew my name
Friends tell me hold on, family tell me just pray
But I didn’t know the power until I fell to my knees that day
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I stopped calling people who couldn’t change a thing
I went straight to God and told Him everything
(Chorus)
I pray and doors open
I pray and chains fall
I pray and demons let go
Goodbye to strongholds, goodbye to limitation
Goodbye to blockages, I say hello to answered prayers
God answer me, God answer me
God answer me
(Verse 2)
I didn't wake up rich, didn't skip the process
Didn't get a shortcut, didn't miss the lesson
He showed up before the money did
Strength showed up before the breakthrough hit
God was working when I saw nothing move
He was clearing paths I couldn’t see through
Prayer didn't change my situation
Oh yeah, prayer changed me
(Chorus)
Yeah, I pray and doors open
I pray and chains fall
I pray, and what was fighting me can't fight at all
Goodbye to limitations, goodbye to blockages
I say hello to answered prayers
God answer me, God answer me
(Bridge)
I prayed when I was tired, I prayed when I was scared
I prayed when I didn’t know how I’d make it there
I prayed through rejection, I prayed through the hell
I prayed when every door kept turning me away
I didn’t quit, I didn’t fold
I stayed right there and watched God move
(Outro)
Yeah, I pray and it moves
I pray and it moves
I pray and God answered
I pray and the pressure lifted
I prayed, I prayed and the weight fell off
I prayed and the weight fell off
Prayer isn’t quiet, prayer isn’t weak
Prayer is how I fight back
I pray and doors open
I pray and chains fall
I pray and I'm not who I used to be at all
I pray, I pray, I pray
