Praying Woman

Before that rooster's crowing
She's kitchen-table sitting
Underlining the gospel
And black-coffee sipping
When that sun gets to sinking
The whole house is resting
And she's thanking God
For those fast-asleep blessings

Might look like she ain't doing much
But she's moving mountains because

That's the power
The power of two folded hands
Bowed head, bended knees
When she whispers dear Jesus
Heaven can hear it
And that devil gets back to Hell running
That's the power
The power of a praying woman
Oh, a praying woman

She puts on a T-shirt
Red lipstick, blue jeans
But she's wearing armor
That nobody sees
Every word she sent up
Came answered back down
And I'm living proof
'Cause this lost girl got found

That's the power
The power of two folded hands
Bowed head, bended knees
When she whispers dear Jesus
Heaven can hear it
And that devil gets back to Hell running
That's the power
The power of a praying woman

When a storm gets to brewing
And the war is a raging
Only one way through it
You keep on praying
Find truth in the trouble
Rise up from the rubble
When push comes to shoving
You keep on praying, woman
Praying woman

That's the power
The power of two folded hands
Bowed head, bended knees
When she whispers dear Jesus
Heaven can hear it
And that devil gets back to Hell running
That's the power
The power of a praying woman
Of a praying woman
Of a praying woman
Oh, the power
Oh, the power of a praying woman
