When This House Prays

We may not have all the answers
We may not know what tomorrow brings
But we know who holds this family
And we know the power of His name

There are bills laid on the table
There are worries at the door
There are nights when fear comes knocking
Like it's been here before

But we gather in the living room
Take each other by the hand
We don't need the perfect words
We just call upon the Lamb

The world says we should be afraid
But fear has got no place
When every heart inside these walls
Starts calling out in faith

When this house prays
The darkness starts shaking
Chains hit the floor
And a new day is breaking

We may be small
But heaven knows our name
The walls may tremble
But our faith won't change

There's power in the room
When we call on Jesus
Nothing stays the same
When this house prays

We pray beside the children
We pray before we eat
We pray when life is beautiful
And when we're on our knees

We pray for every wandering heart
For every empty chair
We pray until the peace of God
Is breathing through the air

We've seen His hand provide before
We know He'll make a way
The God who kept us yesterday
Is with us here today

When this house prays
The darkness starts shaking
Chains hit the floor
And a new day is breaking

We may be small
But heaven knows our name
The walls may tremble
But our faith won't change

There's power in the room
When we call on Jesus
Nothing stays the same
When this house prays

This house has known some heartache
This house has felt the strain
But every scar became a story
Of how our Savior came

He met us in the midnight
He carried every load
And every time we called His name
He never let us go

So let the thunder roll outside
Let trouble test our faith
We know the One who guards this home
And He will never change

Who holds this family?
[Male and Choir]
Jesus holds this family!

Who guards every doorway?
[Female and Choir]
Jesus guards this home!

Who gives us strength to stand?
[Male and Choir]
The risen Son of God!

This family belongs to Jesus!
[Breakdown: Stomping percussion, handclaps and gospel choir]
We will pray in the morning
We will pray through the night
We will pray through the battle
Till we see the morning light

We will pray for our children
We will pray for our friends
We will pray for the broken
And believe again

When this house prays
The darkness starts shaking
Chains hit the floor
And a new day is breaking

We may be small
But heaven knows our name
The walls may tremble
But our faith won't change

There's power in the room
When we call on Jesus
Nothing stays the same
When this house prays

When this house prays
Every stronghold is falling
Hope fills the halls
When our family starts calling

We stand together
And boldly proclaim
As for this house
We will serve His name

There's power in the room
When we call on Jesus
Nothing stays the same
When this house prays

This family belongs to Jesus
This family belongs to Jesus
Nothing stays the same
When this house prays
