The Kingdom Heirs’ “Until Prayer Changes Me” Testifies to the Power of Prayer

They may be a legendary group with decades of music already behind them, but the Kingdom Heirs are taking an approach to releasing music that's as forward-looking as today's headlines. Less than two months after issuing what will eventually be the title track of a new collection - and just weeks after the announcement that the beloved Southern Gospel ensemble's musicians are in the Singing News Fan Awards Top 5 - the Sonlite Records recording artists are back with new music. Cast as a stately country waltz, with pedal steel guitar and lush strings punctuating soaring vocals, "Until Prayer Changes Me" offers a heartfelt look at the transformative power of prayer.
"From the moment I heard the first words of this song, I knew that it was a song the Kingdom Heirs needed to record," affirms Chris Bryant, whose soulful voice is at the fore throughout the song. "It's one of the most relatable messages in song that I have heard in a very long time. There's not a believer out there who hasn't found themselves on their knees asking God 'why?' Those are often some of the most difficult moments of our lives."
Penned by veteran songwriter Janice Crow, "Until Prayer Changes Me" offers a vivid depiction of how prayer can bring reassurance of God's mercy in times of trouble-and how it can change the believer rather than the circumstances they face:
Sometimes my burdens send me to my knees
With problems I don't understand
I ask God to change it so I can arrange it
According to my master plan
But when I remember who parted the sea
And hung all the stars in the blue
I stop and surrender to the only heart mender
Who knows just what I need to do
Says Bryant, "This song reminds us that sometimes God doesn't change our situation-sometimes He changes US! He gives us peace, assurance that He is still in control, and grace to make it through. We pray that this song touches so many people as it has us."
