“Prayer on the Wind”
Verse 1
Out where the cottonwoods whisper low
And the old dirt road just rolls and rolls
I tip my hat to the morning sun
Thank the Lord for another one
For every soul walking lost tonight
For every heart in a hard-fought fight
I send a prayer on the prairie wind
Lord, let your mercy find them again
Chorus
Father in Heaven, hear this song
We’re just your children trying to hold on
Through broken roads and the shape we’re in
We lean on grace time and again
For every spirit on this old earth
Every daughter and every son
Thank you Jesus for what you’ve done
Your love still carries everyone
Verse 2
I’ve seen shadows a mile deep
Where grown men fall down on their knees,
But somewhere past the midnight sky
There’s a light no darkness can deny
So bless the weary and bless the poor
Bless every soul knocking on your door
And if my voice can ride the breeze
Lord let it fall where it’s meant to be
Chorus
Father in Heaven, hear this song
We’re just your children trying to hold on
Through broken roads and the shape we’re in
We lean on grace time and again
For every spirit on this old earth
Every daughter and every son
Thank you Jesus for what you’ve done
Your love still carries everyone
Bridge
For the lost, the hurt, the ones who roam
For the hearts that never felt like home
For the ones who almost slipped away
But woke to see another day
Final Chorus
Father in Heaven, hear this song
Your mercy’s where we all belong
Through every storm that we’ve been through
Your love makes broken people new
For every spirit on this old earth
Every daughter and every son
Thank you Jesus for what you’ve done
Your love saved every wandering one
Outro
So I’ll sing this prayer into the night
Under Heaven’s endless light
If this old song reaches anyone
May they feel the love of God’s own Son
