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 faith, 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 called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called 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 promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear yeaah
If only we would pray

i love this song.
i went to the cd release party, i think it was for lifesong, and they played this song. it was amazing, the lyrics are so awesome and so true. we need to pray at all times. and if we pray, god'll answer loudly and clear. we need to stop asking for the worlds help and look to god only.
mark is very talented, well the whole band is talented. andy is the bomb, i love him. he's so funny. it's crazy how i personally know him, when some people wish they could meet him one day.
how amazing | Reviewer: anonymous | 7/19/08
i was shown some positive proof of this song just this week. one of my friends have lyme disease; a very confusing, abstract, and not well known disease.
she was lucky enough to be able to come to Christian camp with our church this week, though she had to take it easy and brought her cane everywhere.
then on thursday night she started being very non-responsive and couldnt walk whatsoever, with a person on each side of her yet still collapsing. theyve learned that these symptoms are signs that she's going to have a seizure. when this happens, she has to stay in the hospital for a while and she takes quite some time to recover.
me&a bunch of us girls, leaders, etc, joined in the dorm lobby and prayed prayed and prayed for her safety, her mom to get there quickly, and for the medical personel to know what to do (most doctors know hardly anything about lyme disease). we also texted and called some other friends of ours/hers to do the same.
THAT NIGHT she was released from the hospital and got to come back with her mom to spend some of the next day with us. acting totally normal, not weakened in any way. she has NEVER recovered so quickly.
how amazing God is!

prayer is our most powerful weapon!
God bless...
I just saw Casting Crowns at Kingsfest at Kings Dominion. They were finished their set, and Mark asked the crowd if they had time for one more song and they played What if his people prayed. That song stepped on so many toes. It covered abortion, religion in schools, and I cant figure out how this song came out in 2003 and says about Oprah ,especially with her new religion. It is excellant, you really need to see this group in concert, there songs are great and Mark give's great testimonies. God is really working through this group Amen.

This song is a plea to Christians around the world to PRAY!!!!! God isnt some evil dictator who covers his ears when we pray. He hears everything! Even if we're not praying! So pray for this world. He will heal our land! Lets all try it! With all of us praying together, it will be so cool to see what happens to the world! God bless you all!

LOVE THE SONG | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/12/07
Matthew tells us to pray in accordance of recognizing God first before ourselves. Seriously, we can't do anything in this world by ourselves. We need God. We need to stop focusing on our wants and start looking at what God has called us to do, to love. But when we do, there shouldn't be a hint of self pride.
2 Chronicles 7
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
