That'S Why We Pray

To be thankful for the blessings of the day
To be grateful for the food and hands that made
To acknowledge only one who deserves our praise
That's why we pray

To feel joy that goes beyond our circumstance
To know power that's outside these human hands
To be filled with love for each and every man
That's why we pray
Hallelujah

We need healing, we need hope
We need comfort in our soul
We need a shelter through the storms of life, the rage
Keep us safe, Lord, help us stand
In the hollow of Your hand
Be our rescue God, we need Your saving grace
That's why we pray

For the wisdom to discern the wrong from right
To gain strength when we weary from the fight
To find peace here in the chaos of the night
That's why we pray
Hallelujah

We need healing, we need hope
We need comfort in our soul
We need a shelter through the storms of life, the rage
Keep us safe Lord, help us stand
In the hollow of Your hand
Be our rescue God, we need Your saving grace

To conquer addiction, to guide the position
Just for your protection
Oh Lord, we are crying out to You
To handle the battle, to quiet the rattle
Whatever the matter is
Father, You know what to do

To walk into the presence of the King
To lay down our struggles and all our defeat
To find forgiveness here before the mercy seat
That's why we pray
