Pray For All

Yeah yeah…
Lift ‘em up now…
Every voice… every heart…
Verse 1
Woke up thinkin’ ‘bout the world today,
So many people tryin’ to find their way,
Some feel strong, some barely holdin’ on,
But we all need love to carry us along.
So I lift a prayer before I even move,
Not just for me—but for me and you,
Every soul out there fightin’ unseen,
Bring ‘em peace, bring ‘em hope, let ‘em breathe.
Pre-Chorus (gentle lift)
Not just words that we say in pass,
This the kind of love that’s built to last,
From a thankful heart, let it rise above,
Every prayer we send is an act of love…
Chorus (bright, catchy, swaying)
Pray for all—everybody, everywhere,
Lift ‘em up, let ‘em know somebody care,
From the high to the low, let the whole world know,
We’re connected by the love we show.
Pray for all—let it rise like a song,
For the weak, for the lost, for the strong,
With a grateful heart, let it overflow,
That’s the way that the blessings grow.
Verse 2
Pray for the ones with a roof and a name,
Pray for the ones walkin’ out in the rain,
Pray for the leaders, the broken, the bold,
Every story out there waitin’ to be told.
Pray for the neighbor standin’ next to me,
Pray for the stranger I may never see,
‘Cause every life got a purpose inside,
And a little prayer can turn the tide.
Pre-Chorus
Start with thanks for the breath we take,
Every gift that we don’t make,
Then we lift every need we know,
Send it up and let the healing flow…
Chorus (full band, harmonies + horns)
Pray for all—everybody, everywhere,
Lift ‘em up, let ‘em know somebody care,
From the high to the low, let the whole world know,
We’re connected by the love we show.
Pray for all—let it rise like a song,
For the weak, for the lost, for the strong,
With a grateful heart, let it overflow,
That’s the way that the blessings grow.
Bridge (dub breakdown, call & response)
(Leader) Who we pray for?
(Response) Everyone!
(Leader) Near and far now?
(Response) Everyone!
From the rising sun to the setting glow,
Let that love and that prayer just flow…
Final Chorus (big, joyful, crowd energy)
Pray for all—yeah we lift it high!
Hands to the heavens, voices to the sky!
Every heart, every soul, every child, every home,
We ain’t never in this life alone!
Pray for all—let the whole world see,
This is love in its purest degree,
When we pray, when we care, when we show up strong,
We become the place where we all belong.
Outro (fade, horns + crowd voices)
Yeah yeah…
Pray for all…
Let it rise…
Love in motion.
