When mentors fail, and winds prevail;

When worlds collide, and foes assail;

When pressure mounts without retreat;

When crushed like harvest grains of wheat;

 

Fall on your knees for only there

Is found a hope beyond the care.

Lift up your voice in prayer and praise,

Your spirit stirred, your heart ablaze.

Resist the urge to fight alone;

Dependence comes before the throne.

The holy cure in great despair-

Found only in a time of prayer.

 

When tribulation makes its mark;

When mountains rise, and valleys dark;

When gospel-truths seem out of reach;

When friendly words are but a speech;

 

Fall on your knees for only there

Is found a hope beyond the care.

Lift up your voice in prayer and praise,

Your spirit stirred, your heart ablaze.

Resist the urge to fight alone;

Dependence comes before the throne.

The holy cure in great despair-

Found only in a time of prayer.

 

When heart and soul is wrenched by sin;

When Satan lurks with evil grin;

When loss is felt like Job of old;

When conflicts, fights are unresolved

Fall on your knees for only there

Is found a hope beyond the care.

Lift up your voice in prayer and praise,

Your spirit stirred, your heart ablaze.

Resist the urge to fight alone;

Dependence comes before the throne.

The holy cure in great despair-

Found only in a time of prayer.

 

When service for Christ becomes a chore;

When Scripture’s dull and quite a bore;

When church has lost all sense of worth;

When hymns of praise are void of mirth;

 

Fall on your knees for only there

Is found a hope beyond the care.

Lift up your voice in prayer and praise,

Your spirit stirred, your heart ablaze.

Resist the urge to fight alone;

Dependence comes before the throne.

The holy cure in great despair-

Found only in a time of prayer.
