#### PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY

I

WHEN YOU HEAR THE THUNDER BOOMING, WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHTENING FLASH.
WHEN THE CASTLES YOU HAVE BUILDED HAVE ALL FALLEN WITH A CRASH.
AND WHEN EVERY THING ABOUT YOU HAS ALL CRUMBLED TO DECAY.
IF YOU'LL JUST START RIGHT IN PRAYING, YOU CAN PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY

II

WHEN OLD SATAN KEEPS TORMENTING, TELLING YOU A LOT OF LIES.
THEN AGAIN IT SEEMS THE SHADOWS COME TO VEIL YOUR SUNNY SKIES.
WHEN HE LAUGHS AT ALL YOUR WEAKNESS, AND HE MOCKS YOU AS YOU PRAY.
ONCE AGAIN JUST START IN PRAYING AND YOU'LL PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY.

III

OTHER PEOPLE SEEM TO PROSPER WHILE IT SEEMS GOD KEEPS YOU POOR.
YOU CAN SCARCELY MAKE EXPENSES, KEEP THE WOLF BACK FROM THE DOOR.
THEN YOU GAZE UPON YOUR LOVED-ONES, THROUGH THE EYES BY TEARS MADE
DIM.
THINKING OF THE NEEDED COMFORTS BUT THEIR NEEDS ARE KNOWN TO HIM.

IV

WHEN THE ENEMY KEEPS WHISPERING THAT THE LORD'S FORGOTTEN YOU.
WHEN THE POOR FARM AND IT'S TERROR, KEEP APPEARING ON THE VIEW.
JUST REMEMBER DEAR OLD DAVID THAT FROM YOUTH TO AGE HE SAID.
I'VE NOT SEEN THE JUST FORSAKEN, NOR GOD'S CHILDREN BEGGING BREAD.

V

EVEN DEATH ITSELF WAS CONQUERED BY OUR SAVIOR ON THE TREE.
HE EXPOSED IT'S REIGN OF TERROR. MADE IT HARMLESS AS CAN BE.
DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY WHEN IT COMES YOUR WAY JUST SING.
AND YOU'LL FIND IT IS A BLUFFER, SINCE GOD TOOK AWAY IT'S STING.

CHORUS

PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY.
PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY

THE DREARY CLOUDS SO DARK AND GRAY
ALL THE DREARY CLOUDS OH SO DARK AND GRAY.
PRAY UNTO THE LORD
JUST KEEP ON PRAYING TO THE LORD PRAY UNTO THE LORD.
BELIEVE THE PROM ISE OF HIS WORD
OH BELIEVE THE PROMISE PRECIOUS PROMISE OF HIS WORD
CLOUDS ARE LIKE THE SNOW
FOR TRULY CLOUDS ARE LIKE THE SNOW CLOUDS AR LIKE THE SNOW
WHEN SHINES THE SUN THEY ALL MUST GO
BRIGHTLY SHINES THE SUN SWIFTLY THEY MUST
GO.
PRAY UNTIL YOU PRAY
LOOK UP AND PRAY MY BROTHER PRAY PRAY UNTIL YOU PRAY

AND YOU WILL PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY
PRAY ON BROTHER PRAY PRAY THE CLOUDS AWAY.
