Every Breath Becomes a Prayer

Father, I bring You the weight of the day The names in my phone and the words I can't say I set down my worry beside this chair And find that Your mercy is already there

When my hands are empty You still call me near When the road gets heavy Your voice cuts through the fear

I lift my eyes, I lift my heart You were with me from the very start Be my shelter, be my guide Keep Your peace alive inside I will trust You through the night Your faithful love will lead me right Every breath becomes a prayer I am held because You care

Bless every neighbor behind every door The lonely, the tired, the ones keeping score Give us the courage to answer with grace And make room for hope in a crowded place

When my hands are empty You still call me near When the road gets heavy Your voice cuts through the fear

I lift my eyes, I lift my heart You were with me from the very start Be my shelter, be my guide Keep Your peace alive inside I will trust You through the night Your faithful love will lead me right Every breath becomes a prayer I am held because You care

For the ones who need a morning For the ones who need release Teach our hearts to keep on turning Toward compassion, truth, and peace You are near in every burden You are strong when we are weak With open hands and honest voices This is the hope we seek

I lift my eyes, I lift my heart You were with me from the very start Be my shelter, be my guide Keep Your peace alive inside I will trust You through the night Your faithful love will lead me right Every breath becomes a prayer I am held because You care

Every breath becomes a prayer I am held because You care
