Prayer Changes Things

Author: M. A. S. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Many problems meet us on our heav'nly way Lyrics: 1 Many problems meet us on our heav’nly way; If we had no Helper we would surely stray; But our loving Savior bids us seek His face, Meets us at the throne of grace. Refrain: Prayer changes things; Prayer changes things. No matter how heavy the burden you bear, If you cast it on Jesus He’ll carry your care; And nothing can hinder the soul that will dare, For prayer changes things. 2 “Whatsoever ye desire when ye pray;” Hear His loving promise, ‘tis for you today; Stand upon His faithfulness; fresh courage take: “All is yours”—for His dear sake. [Refrain] 3 While you plead His mighty name cannot fail, Heeding not the darkness, nor the fiercest gale; Shadows at His word will flee, and storm be calm, Sorrows turn to joyful psalm. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Many problems meet us on our heav'nly way]
