You planted a seed
Way down deep in the ground
Patiently
Waiting for the sun to shine down
You believed
Even though you couldn't see
Where it was going
That all the pain and suffering
Was worth the seed
That you were sewing
And a sweet hallelujah
Fell from your lips
Whatever the cost, Lord
Whatever the risk
Your words like a fragrance
Filled up the air
Heaven is raining down blessings
Because of your prayers
(Because of your prayers)
Because of your prayers
Like stars in the sky
And grains of sand by the sea
How far and how wide
Generations
In distance they reach
You believed that one day
There would be a mighty harvest
Now from Heaven you will see
That we will finish what you started
A sweet hallelujah
Fell from your lips
Whatever the cost, Lord
Whatever the risk
Your words like a fragrance
Filled up the air
Heaven is raining down blessings
Because of your prayers
Because of your prayers
(Because of your prayers)
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
Because of your prayers
(Because of your prayers)
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
Because (Because of your prayers)
Because of your prayers
(Hallelujah)
You believed (Hallelujah)
And now we see (Hallelujah)
How far your prayers've reached (Because of your prayers)
Heaven is raining down blessings
Because of your prayers
