I walk these streets like a preachers hymn Hopes are heavy but the light ain't dim Every crack in the pavement tells a tell Of dreams that rise and hearts that fail I see the skies they're bruised and gray But I'm still here I kneel and I pray For the lost ones the broke and bruised For the battles fought the wars we lose Echoes bounce off the city walls Every shadow whispers every name it calls I've seen kings fall down from their golden seats Seen angels cry where the devil meets I've held hands with doubt danced with fear But faith is loud when the heart is clear I pray for rain to wash away the pain For the seeds of hope to grow again Hands up high reaching for the sky I'm broken but I try yeah I try I pray I pray for the sun to stay For the night to break for a brighter day I pray I pray for the chains to fall For the silence to answer when I call I pray Romans 15 13 Gracious Father, Tonight I come with a heart full of hope for all who seek you. Your word says May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace in believing. I trust in your power to bring peace where there is unrest. Help me to be a channel of that hope, sharing your love and light with those in need. May my faith overflow and encourage others to find rest in you. Teach me to pray and reach out for those longing to know your grace. In Jesus name, Amen. Hands to the sky like they're climbing a rope Feet on the ground but they're walking on hope Eyes wide open in a world that spins They're searching for light where the shadow begins Some pray for wealth some pray for fame But the seekers they whisper your name Through the noise through the rain They carry their hearts unchained Voices in the dark the echoes of pain Still they hum a tune that breaks the chain Lips cracked dry from the heat But they keep singing they don't retreat Lost in the crowd but they stand alone Each prayer a brick in the past they've sewn Some kneel some dance some just breathe But every move says I believe They run through deserts swim through doubt They fight the fear they block it out Every steps a story every miles a hymm Every hearts a lantern the light within Pray for the seekers the dreamers the bold For hearts full of fire in a world so cold They're reaching they're climbing they're chasing the truth Pray for the seekers they're coming for you I pray I pray for the world For every boy and girl

I pray 3
