[INTRO]
| C | C |

[VERSE 1]
C                              G/B
   What’s your impossible, Your    “I need a miracle”
Am                               F
   What’s got you barely hanging by a single thread
C
   What looks so hopeless now  
G/B
   What weighs down your heart with doubt 
    Am                              F
You   beg for a breakthrough but no sign of breakthrough yet

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
            C
When you’ve cried and you’ve cried til your tears run dry
    G
The answer won’t come and you don’t know why
    Am                                       F            [N.C.]
And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time 

[CHORUS]
           C
Don’t stop praying
Am         G
Don’t stop calling on Jesus name
        Am
Keep on pounding on heaven’s door
         F
Let your knees wear out the floor
             C
Don’t stop believing
       Am        G
‘Cause mountains move with just a little faith
         Am                                      F           
And your Father’s heard every single word you’re saying
               C
So, don’t stop praying

[VERSE 2]
C
   He’s close to the brokenhearted
G
   Saves those who are crushed in spirit
    Am                    F
The Alpha and Omega knows how your story ends

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
            C
When you’ve cried and you’ve cried til your tears run dry
    G
The answer won’t come and you don’t know why
    Am                                       F            
And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time
Oh, do it one more time

[CHORUS]

[POST-CHORUS]
C                        Am

               Am        
Oh, don’t stop praying (Don’t stop, don’t stop praying)
F
Oh (Oh)

Don’t stop praying for the prodigal
           C
Don’t stop praying for the miracle
     Am                     G
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen
           F
Don’t stop praying that addictions end
           C
Don’t stop praying for deliverance
     Am                     G
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen

[BRIDGE 2]
               F
Oh, don’t stop praying for the sickness healed 
           C
Don’t stop praying for His power revealed 
     Am                     G
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen
               F
No, don’t stop praying for the kingdom come
           C
Don’t stop praying that his will be done
     Am                     G
Hallelujah, hallelujah and amen

Oh, don’t stop praying (Don’t stop, don’t stop praying)
