Tom: Em
Em Am Em B7 Em
Oh prayer, oh prayer, in the life of God you are given
Em Am Em B7 Em
In a mournful life, in the midst of battle, You lifted me up.
[Chorus 1]
Am D G C
On a dark night I did not sleep
Am B7 Em E7 Am D
And with his soul he spoke with God: “You hear me, my God,
Am C Am B7 Em
In the midst of life's troubles, Help me, I'm exhausted! "
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em B7 Em
Outside the window, the wind is raging; It splashes with icy snow
Em Am Em B7 Em
And the same storm in my heart This evening I languish
[Chorus 2]
Am D G C
But, resigned to dust With tears in his eyes
Am B7 Em E7 Am D
In my sorrows I begged Jesus: “Oh my God, you know everything,
Am C Am B7 Em
My soul is so heavy, I am exhausted and almost fell. "
[Verse 3]
Em Am Em B7 Em
My God, I do not want an easy life,
Em Am Em B7 Em
Let suffering and sorrow I will find on my way.
[Chorus 3]
Am D G C
I only ask for one thing, so that I always feel
Am B7 Em E7 Am D
As Your omnipotent hand On my shoulders lies
Am C Am B7 Em
And in the midst of everyday battles Encourages me affectionately.
[Verse 4]
Em Am Em B7 Em
Oh, prayer, oh, prayer
Em Am Em B7 Em
I glorify God's power, Grace depth.
[Chorus 4]
Am D G C
God! You are in holy love Strengthened my weak spirit,
Am B7 Em E7 Am D
When I fell exhausted in a storm. To heaven a hearty sigh
Am C Am B7 Em
Ascended in the midst of troubles I received joy in prayer.
