Keep Praying

(album: Jubilee: The Juneteenth Edition - 2021)

Ah, ee
Oh, ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I can hear my daddy praying (Mm)
I can hear my mama singing, oh
It's the only reason why I'm
Standing here, oh (Ah)
They said prayer was a master key
If I pray then God would answer me, oh
He really did (He really did)
He showed me His care
Oh, His care, yeah

Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow
Keep praying, keep praying
Oh, hold on to the faith and the blessing will follow
(Keep) Keep praying, (Keep praying) keep praying
Oh, we are living proof (Oh)
Of what holding on can do (Yeah)
(We are, we are) We are living proof
Of what holding on can do

And he sees every tear that's falling, oh yeah
And He can feel the pain and burdens
And He hears every cry to Heaven
So let it rise, oh

Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow
Keep praying (Oh), keep praying
(Hold on to the faith) Hold on to the faith and the blessings will follow
(Keep praying) Keep praying, (Yeah, don't you ever stop praying) keep praying (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow
(Keep praying) Keep praying, (Don't you ever stop praying) keep praying
(Hold on to the faith) Hold on to the faith and the blessings will follow (Yeah)
Keep praying, keep praying

Oh, the prayers of the righteous, prayers
The affection will burn in prayers
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh
Yeah, yeah

Don't grow weary, keep believing
For in due season you're gonna see it
Don't give up (Hey)
Don't you ever give up
(There's no way) There's no way He could let you down
So keep your head up, knees to the ground
Don't give up (Oh)
Don't you ever give up
(Don't grow weary) Don't grow weary, keep believing
For in due season you're gonna see it
Don't give up
Don't you ever give up
(Hey, there's no way) There's no way He could let you down
So keep your head up, knees to the ground
Don't give up (Hey)
Don't you ever give up
(Don't grow weary) Don't grow weary, keep believing
'Cause in due season you're gonna see it
Don't give up
(Don't you ever) Don't you ever give up
(And there's no way) And there's no way He could let you down
So keep your head up, knees to the ground
Don't give up
(Don't you ever give up) Don't you ever give up

Sing don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't you ever give up (Don't you ever give up)
Don't give up (Don't give up)
He hears every cry (Don't you ever give up)
He sees every tear (Don't give up)
[?] (Don't you ever give up)
Prayer, let it rise (Don't give up)
Oh (Don't you ever give up)

And we are living proof (Yes, we are, yes, we are)
Of what holding on can do (We've come too far, oh, to turn back)
We are living proof (Yeah, yeah, ooh)
Of what holding on can do, oh

Say a prayer for your brother (Mm)
Say a prayer for your friend (Corporately)
Say a prayer for someone who really needs it
And see the proof
Of what God can do
Say a prayer for your brother
Say a prayer for your friend
Say a prayer for someone who really needs it
And see the proof
(And see) And see the proof
(With our own two eyes) I see the proof
(We'll see the proof) We'll see the proof
(Not today, not today, but) We'll see the proof
(Even if it tarries) We'll see the proof
(We'll see the proof) We'll see the proof
Of what God can do

Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow
Keep praying, keep praying
Hold on to the faith and the blessings will follow
Keep praying, keep praying

(Oh) Mm
Keep praying (Keep praying)
Keep praying (Keep on praying)
Keep praying (Keep on praying)
Keep praying (We all)
Keep praying (Yeah)
Keep praying
Keep praying
