Praying Woman

Before that rooster's crowing
She's kitchen-table setting
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, bendin' 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, bendin' 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 (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 (that's the power)
Of two folded hands, bowed head, bendin' knees (bowed head, bendin' knees)
When she whispers, dear Jesus
Heaven can hear it (oh, it can hear us)
And that devil gets back to hell running (oh, running)
That's the power, the power of a praying woman (that's the power)
Of a praying woman
Of a praying woman
Oh, the power
Oh, the power, oh, the power of a praying woman (oh, the power)
Of a praying woman
