Prayer warrior

When I was young there lived next door
An old man and woman who were more
Than words could ever say
And they knew just how to pray
So many times they tried to be
Such an encouragement to me
But I didn't understand
Oh, how I was so blind

They cared for me
They took the time to pray
(They took the time to pray)
For so many years
They prayed the nights away
(Never gave up, never gave up, never gave up)
They never gave up
Though I often let them down
(They took the time to pray)
They fought for me

Till Jesus I had found

They were not moved by what they saw
For they knew that prayer could change the law
Of sin and death in me
They'd have the victory
Then one day Jesus came to me
He opened my eyes and I could see
My warriors had won
Their prayers had overcome

They cared for me
They took the time to pray
(They took the time to pray)
For so many years
They prayed the nights away
(Never gave up, never gave up, never gave up)
They never gave up
Though I often let them down
(They took the time to pray)
They fought for me

Till Jesus I had found

They cared for me
They took the time to pray
(They took the time to pray)
For so many years
They prayed the nights away
(Never gave up, never gave up, never gave up)
They never gave up
Though I often let them down
(They took the time to pray)
They fought for me

Till Jesus I had found

They cared for me
They took the time to pray
(They took the time to pray)
For so many years
They prayed the nights away
(Never gave up, never gave up, never gave up)
They never gave up
Though I often let them down
(They took the time to pray)
They fought for me

Till Jesus I had found
