What If His People Prayed 
- Casting Crowns

Verse 1:
             D     G       D
What if the armies of the Lord
               D      G          D
Picked up and dusted off their swords
          G       C         G
Vowed to set the captives free
             Bm    G        D
And not let satan have one more

              D          G        D
What if the church, for heaven's sake
          D        G       Bm
Finally stepped up to the plate
         D     G          D
Took a stand upon God's promise
      G                   D
And stormed hell's rusty gates

1st Chorus:
                            A  Bm  G
What if His people prayed
      G             Bm  A
And those who bare His name
                            A  Bm  G
Would humbly seek His face
     G              Bm   A
And turn from their own way

Verse 2:
                D      G      D
And what would happen if we prayed
                  D     G        D
For those raised up to lead the way
            G         C          G
Then maybe kids in school could pray
             Bm          G        D
And unborn children see light of day

             D        G      D
What if the life that we pursue
             D      G       Bm
Came from a hunger for the truth
             D      G         D
What if the family turned to Jesus
               G             
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

(Capo 1 for recorded version)

G                        Bm      A

If only we would pray
