He’s the master of my ship
The keeper of the wind
He’s the captain of my soul
He’s my trusted friend, yes He is
And when you ask of Him you will receive
One of His miracles if only you believe
And when you’re down and out and on your knees
Jesus is only a prayer away
And if you feel the need to talk to somebody
Who’ll hear every word you say
Just open up heart and talk to Jesus
Open up your heart to Him and pray
And when you are tempted, don’t give in to sin
Just rise and walk away
Your tomorrows all depend on your today’s, yes it does
And when the darkness comes, don’t be afraid
Just put your trust in Him
He’s always been here
And the Lord is right here to stay
Jesus is only a prayer away
And if you feel the need to talk to somebody
Who’ll hear every word you say
Just open up heart and talk to Jesus
Open up your heart to Him and pray
And when you ask of Him you will receive
One of His miracles if only you believe
And when you’re down and out and on your knees
Jesus is only a prayer away
Jesus is only a prayer away
Yes, He is only a prayer away
I dare you to step in
He is only a prayer away
Whatever it is
Jesus is only a prayer away
I know that I know that I know He is
Hallelujah
