The Prayer

Intro (spoken or soft lead)

Lord

I didn’t know what to say as a prayer

So I just started talking to You

Verse 1

Lord, this is my prayer

I didn’t know what words to say

Till I opened up my heart

And let You lead the way

I ask for direction now

To the plans You made for me

Your blueprint, Your design

Is where I’m trying to be

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been lost, trying to find my way

But I’m walking with You through every day

Chorus

Lord, cover me

When the days turn gray

When my faith feels weak

And my hope feels far away

Hold me close

When the road bends wrong

I believe You’re with me

And You’ll make me strong

Lord, this is my prayer

Verse 2

As I start this journey, Lord

I place my trust in You

Even when the path gets hard

I know You’ll pull me through

When my thoughts get heavy

And the night feels long

You remind me I’m not alone

You whisper strength in song

Pre-Chorus (repeat)

I’ve been lost, but now I see

You were right here walking with me

Chorus (repeat – stronger)

Lord, cover me

When the days turn gray

When my faith feels weak

And my hope feels far away

Wrap Your arms around me

When I feel afraid

Send Your words of comfort

Lord, light my way

Lord, this is my prayer

Vamp / Worship Break

Cover me, Lord

Cover me, Lord

I need You, Lord

I trust You, Lord

ad-libs:

“Have Your way”

“I need You”

“Stay right here

Bridge build + testimony

When I’m alone, You remind me

I’ve never walked by myself

When I’m discouraged, You lift me

You speak life over my health

This prayer is making me stronger

With every step that I take

I’m standing firm in my faith now

I believe You’ll make a way

Final Chorus (full choir / big ending)

Lord, cover me

Through the storm and pain

Every crooked road

You straighten again

I’m stronger now

Because You’re near

Lord, this is my prayer

And You always hear

Outro

Father, I pray

This prayer makes me stronger in my walk

Lord, this is my prayer

Amen.
