A SONG FOR TODAY.

THE PRAYER.

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
Guide us with Your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

I pray we'll find Your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night

Remind us where You are
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day

Oh Lord, lead us to a place,
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

A world where pain and
sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken
will be mended

And we'll remember we are all
God's children
Reaching out to touch you,
reaching to the sky

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find

Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child

Needs to find a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Needs to find a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
