Lyrics
Jesus thought to pray
In His word He says
Pray without ceasing
He is not deaf He will hear You
His hands are not short to reach You pray
Pray today, pray today
God is so loving
He listens to You
Make a prayer today
Make a prayer today
God is loving He'll listen to You
A prayer of a righteous man availeth much
Whatever he asks He will provide
Tis' the confidence we have when we ask in faith
For He is so loving He'll listen to You
Pray today, pray today
God is so loving
He listens to You
Make a prayer today
Make a prayer today
God is loving He'll listen to You
Never doubt a call when You come to pray
Not in vain let there be sures
God is loving He'll listen to You
He is loving He'll listen to You
Pray today, pray today
God is so loving
He listens to You
Make a prayer today
Make a prayer today
God is loving He'll listen to You

Meaning & Inspiration
Pray Today builds its message around persistence, confidence, and trust in prayer. The repeated invitation to pray is supported by assurances that God hears, loves, and responds. Rather than presenting prayer as an empty ritual, the lyric treats it as an act of faith grounded in God’s character. References to praying without ceasing and to the effective prayer of a righteous person place familiar biblical language at the center of the song.
The lyric most directly echoes 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and James 5:16. Its language about confidence when asking also aligns with 1 John 5:14, which connects answered prayer with requests made according to God’s will. The song therefore emphasizes both perseverance and assurance, while Scripture adds an important context: faithful prayer rests on God’s will and righteousness rather than on mere repetition. The recurring chorus makes the central appeal plain and memorable, returning each verse to the conviction that God listens with love.
