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
