Only a Prayer Away
Eternal Connection: Finding Comfort in Prayer
Lyrics
One day
Expressing the beginning of a narrative or personal experience.
I heard the ancient story
Referring to hearing an ancient or timeless tale.
Of a cross on a hill far away
Describing the story of a cross on a distant hill, likely a reference to the crucifixion of Jesus.
And now I've a friend up in glory
Acknowledging a newfound friendship with someone in glory, possibly a spiritual connection.
And He’s only a prayer away
Stating that this divine friend is always accessible through prayer.
Oh, He never will say
Emphasizing that the divine friend is never too busy to listen.
I'm too busy today
Highlighting the friend's availability despite any human excuses.
Every tear, every care
Promising to share and alleviate every tear and care through prayer.
He's promised He will share
Reiterating the friend's commitment to sharing burdens.
And although He's the Lord of all glory
Recognizing the divine friend's exalted status as the Lord of all glory.
Yet He's only a prayer away
Reaffirming that despite the exalted status, the friend is still accessible through prayer.
Sometimes
Introducing a different scenario where the speaker might not feel like praying.
Though I don't feel like praying
Acknowledging moments of spiritual apathy or reluctance to pray.
He still speaks words of love just the same
Noting that despite the speaker's feelings, the divine friend continues to express love through words.
Then deep in my soul there starts flowing
Describing a profound experience of spiritual renewal with living waters and songs of praise.
Living waters, songs of praise to His name
Expressing a transformation within the speaker's soul through prayer.
No, He never will say
Reiterating that the divine friend is always available, emphasizing the absence of excuses.
I'm too busy today
Emphasizing the friend's continual accessibility regardless of circumstances.
Every tear, every care
Reiterating the promise to share and alleviate tears and cares through prayer.
He's promised He will share
Affirming the friend's commitment to sharing and comforting.
And although He's the Lord of all glory
Acknowledging the divine friend's exalted status once again.
Yet He's only a prayer away
Reiterating that despite the exalted status, the friend is accessible through prayer.
Yet He's only a prayer away
Repeating the message that the divine friend is always reachable through prayer.
