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.
