The day started normal as I rose from my bed
Never knowing what all it would bring.
Got all the errands done, paid all the bills
Then came back to go in and sing
Then suddenly I felt it, that too familiar ache
The pain grew more and more severe
I prayed to God to stop the pain
He reminded me of someone who cared
I needed someone to stand in the gap
To intercede in prayer
Someone to stand on my behalf
Someone to pray and to care
To be the bridge between me and God's grace
Focused on my desperation
He chose you to stand in the gap
As you prayed and pleaded for my restoration
Thank you my friend for pleading for me
When I could not pray on my own
God answered your prayers and healed my pain
He literally crushed every stone
You didn't have to stand for me
You don't have to stand for me now
But God sent you my way and my way to you
Forever to Him we will bow
All power and glory we'll lift up to Him
Forever we'll give Him our praise
For He stood in OUR gap and we'll sing and we'll shout
And our grateful hands we will raise
All power and glory we'll lift up to Him
Forever we'll give Him our praise
For He stood in OUR gap and we'll sing and we'll shout
And our grateful hands we will raise
