Casting Crowns - What if the armies of the lord lyrics

What if the armies of the Lord

Picked up and dusted off their swords

Vowed to set the captive free

And not let satan have one more

What if the Church, for heaven's sake

Finally stepped up to the plate

Took a stand upon God's promise

And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus I:

What if His people prayed

And those who bear His name

Would humbly seek His face, yeah

And turn from their old ways

And what would happen if we prayed

For those raised up to lead the way

Then maybe kids in school could pray

And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue

Came from a hunger for the truth

What if the family turned to Jesus

Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus I:

What if His people prayed

And those who bear His name

Would humbly seek His face yeah

And turn from their own way

Chorus II:

He said that He would hear

His promise has been made

He'll answer loud and clear, yeah

If only we would pray

Bridge:

If My people call by My name

If they'll humble themselves and pray

If My people call by My name

If they'll humble themselves and pray

Choruses:

What if His people prayed

And those who bear His name

Would humbly seek His face, yeah

And turn from their old ways

He said that He would hear

His promïse has been made

He'll answer loud and clear yeaah

If only we would pray
