There at the bedside of a suffering loved one
All earthly hope now exhausted and gone
You lift up your eyes to your Father in Heaven
Pleading for help as you kneel at his throne
Then like a whisper those eyes full of hurt open
You look up to see that the crisis is past
You know once again that God has delivered
You reached out for mercy, He's answered at last
Within the reach of a prayer, God has provision
Grace sufficient for every petition
He has healing for the wounded and mercy to spare
And it's all within the reach of a prayer
Begging prayer at midnight going on til morning
You're searching the darkness and suddenly He's there
Within the reach of a prayer, God has provision
Grace sufficient for every petition
He has healing for the wounded and mercy to spare
And it's all within the reach of a prayer
