What If His People Pray

Album: Casting Crowns
by: Casting Crowns

Verse:
  D#
  What if the armies of the Lord
  D#
  Picked up and dusted off their swords
           G#
  Vowed to set the captives free
              Cm    A#       D#
  And not let Satan have one more
  D#
  What if the church, for Heaven's sake
  D#                        Cm
  Finally stepped up to the plate
                          D#
  Took a stand upon God's promise
              G#     A#    D#
  And stormed Hell's rusty gates

Chorus:
                            A#   Cm    G#
  What if His people prayed
       G#        Cm      A#
  And those who bear His name
                            A#  Cm   G#
  Would humbly seek His face
      G#        Cm        A#
  And turn from their own way

Verse:
  D#
  And what would happen if we prayed
  D#
  For those raised up to lead the way
             G#
  Then maybe kids in school could pray
          Cm       A#           D#
  And unborn children see light of day
  D#
  What if the life that we pursue
  D#                         Cm
  Came from a hunger for the truth
                               D#
  What if the family turned to Jesus
                 G#    A#      D#
  Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus:
                            A#   Cm    G#
  What if His people prayed
       G#        Cm      A#
  And those who bear His name
                             A#  Cm   G#
  Would humbly seek His face
      G#        Cm        A#
  And turn from their own way
                               A#   Cm   G#
  He said that they would hear
      G#      Cm       A#
  His promise has been made
                              A#   Cm   G#
  He'd answer loud and clear
     G#   Cm       A#      Fm
  If only we would pray

Bridge:
  Fm    Cm     A#        Fm      Cm A#
  If My people called by My name
  Fm         Cm     A#         Fm       Cm A# 
  If they'll humble themselves and pray
  Fm    Cm     A#        Fm      Cm A# 
  If My people called by My name
  Fm         Cm     A#         Fm       Cm A# 
  If they'll humble themselves and pray

Chorus:
                            A#   Cm    G#

  And those who bear His name
                             A#  Cm   G#
  Would humbly seek His face
      G#        Cm        A#
  And turn from their own way
                               A#   Cm   G#
  He said that they would hear
      G#      Cm       A#
  His promise has been made
                              A#   Cm   G#
  He'd answer loud and clear
     G#   Cm       A#      Fm
  If only we would pray
