Lyrics

God has giv­en you His pro­mise
That He hears and an­swers pray­er.
He will heed your sup­pli­ca­tion
If you cast on Him your care.

Refrain

He will an­swer ev­ery pray­er,
He will answer ev­ery pray­er,
Go to Him in faith be­liev­ing,
He will an­swer ev­ery pray­er.

He will not with­hold one bless­ing,
He will give you what is best.
God will an­swer by His Spi­rit,
Every one who makes re­quest.

Refrain

He can hear the great pe­ti­tion,
And the small­est, ov­er there.
Unto God pray with­out ceas­ing,
He will an­swer ev­ery pray­er.

Refrain

Take to God your plans and fail­ures,
Any time and any­where.
No one ev­er goes un­an­swered,
For He an­swers ev­ery pra­yer.
