Within the Reach of a Prayer

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
