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
