Standing In The Gap For You

(Tenor Saxophone: Sings a warm, descending, soulful melody)

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working……James 5:16”

(Full Band enters smoothly with a rich jazz chord progression: Dm9 - G13 - Cmaj7)

(Sax & Brass Fills trading with Organ Stabs)

(Bass Groove: Deep, walking bassline locks in with a slow, heavy R&B pocket)

When your strength is gone and words won’t come,

When the night feels longer than the day,

I’ll lift your name before the throne of grace,

And believe God will make a way.

You don’t have to walk this road alone,

He never said we’d stand by ourselves,

When you can’t pray, I’ll pray for you,

And take your burden to the Lord.

We were never meant to carry it all,

There’s healing when we answer the call.

I’m standing in the gap for you,

When your faith is running thin,

I’m standing in the gap for you,

Until your strength comes back again.

I’ll call your name, I’ll seek His face,

I’ll trust His Word, I’ll stand in faith,

I’m standing in the gap for you,

Standing in the gap.

Bring your heavy heart, bring every care,

Lay it down at the Savior’s feet,

But don’t be afraid to reach for help,

That’s where love and mercy meet.

When two or three agree as one,

He promised He would hear the cry,

So I’ll keep praying, keep believing,

Until your breakthrough arrives.

God never asked us to bear it alone,

We’re stronger when we stand as one.

I’m standing in the gap for you,

When your faith is running thin,

I’m standing in the gap for you,

Until your strength comes back again.

I’ll call your name, I’ll seek His face,

I’ll trust His Word, I’ll stand in faith,

I’m standing in the gap for you,

Standing in the gap.

Somebody prayed for me (Yes, they did)

Somebody stood in faith (Yes, they did)

When I couldn’t pray for myself,

They carried me to God.

I’ll carry you (I’ll carry you)

I’ll cover you (I’ll cover you)

I’ll believe God’s Word for you

Until He moves.

Standing in the gap…

Calling your name…

Taking it to Jesus…

He’ll never fail.

Standing in the gap…

We’re not alone…

We carry each other…

Back to the throne.

We’re standing in the gap for each other,

Lifting every burden in prayer,

Standing in the gap for each other,

Because love means somebody cares.

We’ll call your name, we’ll seek His face,

We’ll trust His Word, we’ll stand in faith,

We’re standi
