Help is on the Way
Verse 1
People say that time will heal
But you know, they just don't feel what you feel
Times are hard but God is so good
He's never failed you, and He said He never would

He see's your tears
He fights your fears

CHORUS
Hold on, help is on the way
He said he'd never leave you or forsake you
Stay strong
Help is on the way
He'd said he'd help you
Just reach out and take his hand

VERSE 2
He knows your heart, He lifts your head
He's always close enough to hear every word you said
When you're weak, He said He's so much more
His arm is long enough to reach you where you are

He see's your tears
He fights your fears

CHORUS 2x

Help is on the way 10x

Somebody Said A Prayer
Just a single mom raisin' her kids
Little Tommy's seven and her daughter, Justine, just turned ten
Pinchin' every cent
Laughin' and lovin and content
You would never think a couple years ago
She almost let her job, her kids, her mind, her life go up in smoke
But right there on the edge right before the fall

Chorus: Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody hit their knees and asked for help, for heaven's sake
Somebody finally found
Someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen and his heart was broke
The middle of the night
A bottle full of pills
And a goodbye note
Sittin' on his bed but then he bowed his head
Now I see him every week and every now and then
He talks about that night and the peace that came over him
Talk about a sermon, can I get amen
Up there with tears on his face he said look what happened, Lord

Repeat Chorus Twice

Can I get an amen
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Somebody said a prayer

(Neil Thrasher and Craig Wiseman)
