"Prayer" lyrics

In the name of Jesus
Let us pray

Father, please walk with us through the bad times as well as the good
May we be heard and understood from the suburbs to the hood
May you judge us by our hearts and not by our mistakes
And see that we get our breakthrough, however long that it takes
May you fill that void in our souls that will lay our fears to rest
But there's no way we can live for Jesus, when we're living in the flesh
So I pray that you allow our spirits to be born
Grow strong, move on, know right from wrong
First John, chapter two, verse 15
"Do not love the world or anything in the world"
And we know what that means, but listen
We know the distance we need to be away from fire to keep it missing
But that doesn't mean we'll listen
Lord you take care of fools and babies
You teach women to honor their men and men respect their ladies
But lately so many of us have gone astray
Doing wrong for so long that we've forgotten the way
Please bring us back home, instill in us the word which is our backbone
We're just children that act grown
There is so much that we're entitled to yet we receive so little
Because in this time of spiritual warfare, we're comfortable in the middle
So I pray that you open our eyes
Give us the anointing to recognize the devil and his lies
If we keep our actions wise, our prayers sincere
Our heads to the sky, you will diminish our fears
In Jesus' might name we have prayed
Amen
