A Prayer

(album: Message In The Music - 1976)

Heavenly father
Creator of all things
I humble myself
As I bow to your throne
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness
To be present in my home, well I do
And that your holy spirit
Build in my heart and in my mind
Please give me strength
'Cause I get a little weak sometimes
I need help from you just to see me through

Well, heavenly father
There is no one
To you, I give the glory
And on my knees, I fall
I ask for wisdom and understanding
To you my prayers I bring
To you my soul I send

May I do my part
To help vindicate your name
So the world will know who's to blame
For all the wrong
I pray that your will be done
And let the light shine
Let it shine with understanding
Let it shine down on all mankind

'Cause we are living in
The final days of our time
Heavenly father, well, well
King of all kings

I pray for the sick and the weak ones too
Yes, I do
And all of those who are strong
Let them know their purpose
Let them be agents for you
Well, let them work for you
And let your holy spirit
Walk across the waters of my mind
I wanna make you proud of what you've done
So I come to you through your son
Heavenly father
Lord, I thank you for another day

And I pray (Pray on, pray on)
My prayer for peace (My prayer for peace)
My prayer for love (Love)
My prayer for the vindication of your holy name

I pray
My prayer for peace (My prayer for peace)
My prayer for love (Love)
My prayer for the vindication of your name

I pray (Pray on, pray on)
My prayer for peace (My prayer for peace)
My prayer for love (Love)
My prayer for the vindication of his holy name

Down on my knees, I pray
Sometimes I walk around and I pray (Teach the children to pray)
Sometimes I lay flat on my back and I pray
And I pray, well
And I ask for, I ask for wisdom (Teach mother to pray)
Peace, love, joy and happiness
And I pray, and I pray (Teach father to pray)
That your will be done (He needs to learn to pray)
And I pray for the brothers and the sisters

Pray (Pray on, pray on)
My prayer for peace (My prayer for peace)
My prayer for love (Love)
My prayer for the vindication of his holy name

I pray (Pray on, pray on)
My prayer for peace (My prayer for peace)
My prayer for love (Love)
My prayer for the vindication of his holy name
