Prayed Again Tonight (Lyric Video)

· 4:19

Sing along with Prayed Again Tonight, with every word on screen as the pictures move from a lamp-lit room and a moonlit lake through fog and starlight to the sunrise.

Prayed Again Tonight is an honest song for the nights when faith feels small and the answer hasn't come yet, and for anyone who keeps praying anyway. This lyric video puts every word on screen in time with the music, so you can sing along at home, with a small group, or on your own.

The footage follows one long night. A lamp glows in the corner of a dark room, rain runs down a window and the moon slips behind the clouds. In the choruses the stars turn slowly over a still lake and moonlight shimmers on the water, and the bridge walks through drifting fog until golden light breaks through the storm clouds and the sun rises over the hills. Some scenes are AI-animated from photographs.

The video opens with the verse behind the song, Luke 18:1, where Jesus teaches that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. You can listen to the studio recording and read the story behind the song on its song page.

I prayed again tonight, Same corner of the room, Same cup of coffee getting cold, Same shadow from the moon.

I told You I'm exhausted, I told You I'm afraid. Then I sat there in the quiet Like I do most every day.

I don't know if I'm praying wrong, I don't know why it takes this long.

But I prayed again tonight, Even though I wanted to quit. I said, "Jesus, if You hear me, I'm still hurting down here."

I prayed again tonight, With a faith no bigger than a flame. And when I couldn't find the words, I just kept saying Your name.

Jesus... Jesus...

If that's all I've got tonight, Then that's the prayer I'll pray.

I used to pray with confidence, Like mountains had to move. Now sometimes all I manage Is, "Lord, help me make it through."

My friends say, "Keep believing." I smile and say, "I will." But they don't see me asking You, "Why haven't You answered still?"

So I prayed again tonight, Even though my heart was worn. I said, "Jesus, if You're listening, Please carry me till morning."

I prayed again tonight, Though nothing suddenly changed. But when I couldn't find the words, I just kept saying Your name.

Jesus... Jesus...

When my faith can't make a speech, Your name is all I need.

I don't have a victory story yet. I don't have an ending I can tell. I'm somewhere between the prayer And whatever comes next.

But I've made it through every night I thought would bury me.

Maybe You were closer Than the silence made You seem.

So I'll pray tomorrow. I'll pray afraid. I'll pray disappointed. I'll pray anyway.

I'll pray again tonight, Till this weary heart remembers: Faith isn't never doubting— Sometimes faith is holding on.

I'll pray again tonight, Even if the answer waits.

And if all I have is "Jesus," Jesus will be what I say.
