Behold, I stand at the door. I knock, if anyone will hear my voice,
Answer the door please, child, make the right choice!
I’ll come in and sup with you. Through prayer you can hear my voice.

And when you can't go on
pray always
When all hope is gone
pray always
When help is what you need
pray always
Answers come to those on bended knees – Always!

And when you pour out your soul, the things your heart feels when you kneel to pray,
Are more important than the words that you say.
Ask in faith. The pow'r is yours. I must bless if you obey.

And when you can't go on
pray always
When all hope is gone
pray always
When help is what you need
pray always
Answers come to those on bended knees – Always!

Sometimes you must ask and ask, so that your faith can grow.
And 0, my child, there are times when I must answer, "no".

Then there are times you will pray when you will ask for things that you truly need, But answers rest in someone else's deeds.
I can whisper and inspire, but they still have their agency.

Oh, I could never force a child, for when I sent them down, I promised they'd be free.
Now I must trust their good as they trusted me.
But I am here. I am near. And you can always talk to me.

And when you can't go on
pray always
When all hope is gone
pray always
When help is what you need
pray always
