[Lyric] I Pray for the Kids (The Needhams)

I pray for the kids

Lord, I come before You and I’m grateful
I know You hear and answer prayer
Your grace is greater than my burdens
And nothing is too hard for You to bear
I’m silencing my doubts and all my questions
Choosing to hold on to simple faith
I place every need I have in Your Hands
Kneeling boldly at your throne of grace

I pray for my friends and family
That You’d bless and keep them safe
And I pray for all our soldiers
‘Cause they’re standing in harm’s way
I lift up all our leaders
Lord make them strong and wise
Help us hold on to freedom
Forgive our sin and pride
This is not the world I grew up in
So I pray for the kids
Father I’m so thankful for your mercy
And Your goodness merits my best praise
I ask for forgiveness and revival
We have grown complacent in our ways
I ask for your angels around my children
Guard them every time they step outdoors
And bring back our love for unborn babies
They don’t seem to matter anymore

I pray for my friends and family
That You’d bless and keep them safe
And I pray for all our soldiers
‘Cause they’re standing in harm’s way
I lift up all our leaders
Lord make them strong and wise
Help us hold on to freedom
Forgive our sin and pride
This is not the world I grew up in
So I pray for the kids

I pray for all our preachers and our teachers
To stand for truth and run from compromise
I pray for those who suffer hate and violence
They need Your peace and justice in their lives

I pray for my friends and family
That You’d bless and keep them safe
And I pray for all our soldiers
‘Cause they’re standing in harm’s way
I lift up all our leaders
Lord make them strong and wise
Help us hold on to freedom
Forgive our sin and pride
This is not the world I grew up in
It’s so dark and it’s so full of sin
So most of all, most of all
I pray for the kids
