ABOUT THE SONG:

The song "Every Time I Pray" was written in 1981 for Full Gospel Tabernacle's (FGT) first church camp. At that time, FGT was at her infancy, with only 30 people. Most of the members were young. The leaders were also young at that time. At our first meeting, we raised only a few thousand ringgit which was not even sufficient to pay for the church fixtures. I remembered we were poor and had to sit on the floor at our first few meetings. This was the setting when the song was written.

"Every Time I Pray" is our cry to God for help. It reflected our faith in God that He could see us through all the difficulties we faced at that time. We believed in prayer. The church was built on prayer. Prayer has always been and will continue to be the foundation of the church. Before every major decision was taken by the leadership, there would always be a call for the church to pray for a period of time.

Today, 32 years later, although FGT has grown to almost 1000 members, prayer remains one of the most important activities of the church. Every leader, worker, musician, singer etc. are required to attend the Prayer Meetings on Friday and Sunday mornings. This is a non negotiable requirement. Over the years, there has been pressures on the leadership to remove the Friday prayer meetings but the leadership have always resisted this move. It is still a fundamental belief that prayer is the single most important activity in the Church.

There are several recordings of the song in Taiwan, Hong Kong and United States in the Mandarin language. The song has also been translated into Portugese, Burmese, Nepalese and Cambodian language.

I do not know why God has chosen to single out this song to be the most "anointed" among the 70 songs I have written. I can only guess that it could be because it was written at that period of time when we were weak and desperately seeking God's face. Another reason could be that God really wants all of us to understand the importance of prayer as reflected in the lyrics of the song.

Verse 1
A       E/G#    F#m       C#m7
I will come to You in prayer,  
D       A               Esus   E
I will seek Your face
A        E/G#     F#m     D
I will stand within the gap,
A                  Esus  E           A
There will I in------ter------cede.

Chorus:-
A                        E/G#    F#m                  C#m7
For every time I pray, I move the hand of God
        D                    A                B7                G
My prayer does the things, My hands cannot do
       A                 E/G#        F#m                C#m7
For every time I pray, The mountains are removed
        D                      A                  G          D         A
The paths are made straight, And nations turn to You.

Verse 2

I am weak and helpless Lord,
You, my strength shall be
Guide me with Your gracious hand,
There will my victory be.
