A newborn child
Just starting to grow
Does not understand
But soon he will know
That waiting before him
Each step of the way
The spiritual war
That awaits him each day

But soon he will learn
A lesson so sweet
That God's Holy Word
Is a lamp to his feet
A light to his pathway
The Word of the Lord
The sword of the Spirit
Our weapons of war

So we cry to the King
'Cause we know He's listening

(Chorus)
Because of our prayer
We know that something's happening
The power is there
We know that something's happening
In God we trust
For He promises us
That because of our prayer
We know that something's happening

Faith, it will come
Yes, it will appear
When God's Holy Word
Is all that we hear
The prayers of the righteous
Will get the job done
Through the sword of the Lord
The words of the Son

So we reach for the sky
Sending our petitions high
