1.

Pray to your Savior; pray and believe.
Pray and from Him you’ll surely receive.
All unbelief and doubts chase away.
Give yourself wholly; don’t cease to pray.

Chorus:

Break through to Jesus—faith breaks the bands!
Break through to Jesus, He understands.
All those who pray in faith will receive.
He answers all who pray and believe.

2.

When storms are raging, seek God, He’s near.
Every true son He always will hear.
Do not give up; He’ll surely give aid—
By Him and for Him all things are made.

3.

Pray with great boldness—trust you’ll receive.
You need no more in emptiness grieve.
Even God’s Son who came from on high,
While in His flesh, in prayer had to cry.

4.

When your heart weeps, remember that He
Bore grief and pain, was tempted as we.
He’ll surely help you that it succeeds;
Ere you have asked Him, He’s seen your needs.
