We may see her face, even know her as an "aquaintance", but do we recognize her as a spiritual warrior....someone who reaches heaven with her prayers?
This is one of my favorite songs of all time....remember getting the tape (yes, cassette!) when it was first released in 1988 (Compilation project featuring Sheri, Candy Hemphill Christmas, and Tonya Goodman Sykes).
It moved me then, and continues to move me now....
PRAYER WARRIOR (T.Goodman Sykes/M. Sykes/ C. Cloninger)
We may see her in the grocery with her children
Or in the city nine to five each working day
She's a mother or a teacher or a woman all alone
But she's someone else entirely when she prays
She's a prayer warrior down on her knees
Wrestling with power and principalities
Standing in the gap for others
For her sisters and her brothers
Reaching heaven with her heart
We don't see her lonely nights of intercession
Or that tear she shed with every whispered name
We may not see the simple things hidden in her heart
But the eyes of God are watching her with care
And we'll never wholly know the debt we owe her
For we'll never know the evil we've been spared
Many nights she's crushed through Satan’s strongholds
Reaching heaven with her prayers
I couldn't find the original track, but YouTube had a ladies group singing it...here is the link:

Blessings to you today. May you be blessed and given much joy and answers because of a "Prayer Warrior" in your life....somewhere....

This is a beautiful song and the ladies do a great job. Thanks for posting. Lady in our church was looking for the sound track for this Sunday. No luck so far.
