We got to pray we got to pray
We got to pray in the night and through the day
We got to pray when we’re together — keep on prayin’ on our own
We gotta pray, pray, pray, pray, pray

We are no longer slaves to fear, by His Spirit we are heirs
And in Jesus we can come and know He hears our every prayer
And by His Spirit we cry, “Abba”; He’s holdin’ us so near
We gotta pray, pray, pray, pray, pray

We got to pray without ceasing, pour our heart out to the Lord
Holy Spirit is translatin’ when we can’t find the words
Cast our every care upon Him, wrenching agony within
We gotta pray, pray, pray, pray, pray

We got to come in our confession, He is faithful to forgive
Cannot try to keep sin hidden, open up and ask Him in
Oh, communion’s very precious, He works such a change of heart
We gotta pray, pray, pray, pray, pray

We got to lift up one another, intercession offerin’
For our sisters and our brothers and the struggles they are in
We come before the throne of God — it makes all the difference
We gotta pray, pray, pray, pray, pray

In prayer we offer up our worship, come from way down deep inside
Worthy is the Lamb of God ... remember Jesus crucified
Here we intimately whisper, “I love You, dearest Lord”
We gotta pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
