The Prayer
Music and Lyrics by
CAROLE BAYER SAGER and DAVID FOSTER
I pray you’ll be our eyes,
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know.
Let this be our prayer,
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place,
(Lead us to a place)
Guide us with your grace
(With your grace)
To a place where we’ll be safe.
I pray we’ll find your light
(I pray we’ll find your light)
And hold it in our hearts
(And hold it in our hearts)
When stars go out each night
(When stars go out each night)
Eternal light will shine
(ohhhh…..)
Let this be our prayer
(Let this be our prayer)
When shadows fill our day
(When shadows fill our day)
Lead us to a place,
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
We’re dreaming of a world that has no
violence
A world without injustice, war and hunger
Where neighbors give a helping hand to
strangers
As a sign of friendship, brotherhood and
love
We ask that life be kind
(We ask that life be kind)
And watch us from above
(And watch us from above)
We hope each soul will find
(We hope each soul will find)
Another soul to love
(Another soul to love)
Let this be our prayer
(Let this be our prayer)
Just like every child
(Just like every child)
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
And now with this faith
Which is in our hearts,
We can feel that we’ll be safe
