I Know He Heard My Prayer
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the light of day,
The sun is shining through dispelling gloom with hallelujahs;
I know that this is real,
For in my heart I feel,
That my Savior heard my earnest prayer.
I know He heard my prayer;
He gives to me the blessed victory.
Oh yes I feel Him now,
My loyalty I vow,
I know the Savior (Lord) heard my plea
The enemy had said to me,
That my faith in God was dead
And if the way was rough, He did not care
(That The Savior did not care),
Thank God (Thank the Lord) it is not true,
He thrills me through and through
I know the Savior heard my prayer
I know He heard my prayer.
When in the future days the fiery trials blaze
When Satan comes to me to take away my victory;
I can point him to the time when Heaven′s light did shine
I can say He heard my earnest prayer.
I know He heard my prayer;
He knows my every care,
He gives to me the blessed victory.
Oh yes I feel Him now,
My loyalty I vow,
I know the Savior (Lord) heard my plea
The enemy had said to me,
That my faith in God was dead
And if the way was rough, He did not care
(That The Savior did not care),
Thank God (Thank the Lord) it is not true,
He thrills me through and through
I know the Savior heard my (earnest) prayer
I know He heard my prayer.
I know the Savior heard my earnest prayer.
The song "I Know He Heard My Prayer" is a gospel song that is essentially about the power of prayer and the faith one has in God. The lyrics first describe a moment when the clouds have passed away, and the sun is shining through, dispelling gloom. The author then expresses that they know that their experience is real because they feel that their Savior heard their earnest prayer. The lyrics go on to describe how the author knows that God cares for them and has heard their prayer, even when the enemy tries to convince them otherwise. Finally, the author reflects on how they can look back and point to the moment when their prayer was heard and use that as strength in the face of future trials.
The lyrics embody a strong conviction of faith, and the author is grateful and confident that their prayer has been heard by their Savior. It is an expression of the assurance that one can have when they have a relationship with God and the trust they have that God is always with them, even in times of trouble. The song encourages listeners to have faith in God and to believe that their prayers will be answered.

God hears the prayers of His "believers" and will always answer them. When you pray for an unsaved friend or loved one you can be sure God will gently lead them to the cross.
