Lyrics
Absent was joy, absent was peace
There was so little hope in sight
Wandering around
With only questions as my companion
Until the Spirit within me cried
And prior to a prayer
The tears just kept falling
Clothed in darkness
On the edge of despair
The Savior nowhere in sight
And nothing seemed right
But that was all just prior to a prayer
David in fear, Job in distress
Oh, how they wondered
Does God really care
Peter in prison
Not knowing friends were humbly kneeling
They had no hope just prior to a prayer
And prior to a prayer
The tears just kept falling
Clothed in darkness
On the edge of despair
The Savior nowhere in sight
And nothing seemed right
But that was all just prior to a prayer
But when Jesus came
When I finally saw Him
No more burdens, not one little care
It had been different
So different just moments ago
Faith was fading just prior to a prayer
A prayer
