Verse 1:

Lord God I pray, on my knees I kneel, I pray for those in pain, that Your words would heal.. convey Your truth God! May it be revealed! To those who are fearing the feeling that You are real... I pray for the sickened, I pray for the broken. I pray for the pain stricken, who feel hopeless. For those who are scared, to share their story! That they would understand that their brokenness becomes Your glory! I pray for my 2 sisters and my older brother... for my father, and for my mother. That every day they would know that You are God and there is NO OTHER! That You would shine Your light, like the sun in the summer! Give them wisdom, holdin' dear what is sacred, and if they should hate, I pray they hate hatred! Show us where to go, and just say when... help us grow, this I pray... AMEN.

This I pray... in the midst of the pain...
You'd seize the day! And see through the rain!
Open your eyes, to the Truth that remains!
This I pray... This I pray...

Verse 2:

Lord I'm back again, and this time.. I pray this wouldn't be just a quick rhyme... 'cause when the kick dies, and when the clap fades, I don't wanna be wearing a mask, masquerade! When my faith is dry, help me advocate! Activate Your flood gates, rain down cascade! And so I pray for the teens and the kids, that You would show them what it means to forgive... This I pray, I pray for my nephew, that he would grow to be a man who would bless You! That he would walk with integrity and be humble! And he would cry out to You when he stumbles! This I pray! I pray for my neices... that they would grow to become worshipers of JESUS! That they would value their purity, and not look to a man, but to You for their security...

This I pray... in the midst of the pain...
You'd seize the day! And see through the rain!
Open your eyes, to the Truth that remains!
This I pray... This I pray...

Verse 3:

Life and breath, a treasure truly!
I get to bask in the bliss of Your beauty!
So I pray that I would take a chance...
I would take Your hand! In Your love I would dance!

Every ounce of me, all of me, is all I have to give!
I pray for the faith of a seed, as You
show me how to grow into a tree!

This I pray... in the midst of the pain...
You'd seize the day! And see through the rain!
Open your eyes, to the Truth that remains!
This I pray... This I pray...
