Intro:
We all need prayer. Sometimes we got so caught up in the darkness that we forget God is there. Or sometimes there's so much pain it feels like He's not listening. But He does... And He cares. And whenever I pray, I make sure to think of those who are hurting. And those prayers sound something like this...


Verse 1:
Lord God, thank YOU, for everything,
‘Cause you washed many sins that I been already in,
But right now, I like to pray for those imPAIRED within,
People HURTIN’ inside and need to know you’re THERE with them,
I lift my friend Larry, his baby is gettin’ buried,
Please help him find a way through the pain of the cemetery,
I kneel AND prayyyy, the love of God’ll come through,
I know you feel HIS paiiiin because you lost your son TOO,
And next I’m liftin’ Madeline, she hasn’t been at peace,
She’s been challenged with paralysis from abdomen to feet,
I pray that you would move her with your truth removin’ Lucifer,
And hope You help her see herself the way that YOU do with her,
I pray for Ted who just divorced his wife,
His tears synonymous to rain when it would POUR at night,
THIS SORT of life requires strength from above, and I believe it’s true,
But my friends are losin’ hope and THEY’RE in dire NEED of You…


(Hook 2x):
I start a prayer for my friends RIGHT now…
They’re sufferin’ a lot, so can you send LIFE now?
I’m begging You renew the very strength I found,
RIGHT now… RIGHT now… RIGHT now…


Verse 2:
And I pray, you cover Eddie’s soul when HE sleeps,
It’s hell, because he fell in a coma for three WEEKS,
At this MOment he’s IMPRISoned and I hope he makes it THROUGH,
More important I pray that Eddie’s spirit WILL BE safe with You,
And recently, I know that Jenn has BEEN raped,
I can tell she hasn’t eaten, concealing a thin WAIST,
I pray you heal the hurting ‘cause hope is tough to see,
Luckily, she had the trust enough to open up to me,
But now I’m real WORried, my cousin conCEALS hurting,
Searchin’ in the wrong places ‘cause she doesn’t FEEL worthy,
I pray You break the curses and then remove the lies,
‘Cause I know she’s on the verge of attemptin’ suicide,
A friend of mine’s an addict, I can hear John grieve,
He’s jammin’ NEEdles in his arm, but COvers up with long sleeves,
He wishes he could STOP, but it hurts to STAY sober,
God, PLEASE give him strength until the first day’s OVER,
As FOR myself, sometimes I walk mad,
‘Cause I’m trippin’ on the incident from when I got STABBED,
When hopeless, my goodness, it’s cold and scandalous,
Too hard to focus on goodness from post traumatic stress,
I pray You uplift me and fiiiind the hurrrt within,
I’m askin’ that You give me a liiiife that’s WORTH livin’,
I start prayin’ just to realize how,
I don’t mean to be impatient, but we need you right NOW…

Outro 2x:
Whispering "Start a prayer for my friends right now,
Sufferin' a lot so can you send life now?
Beggin' you renew the very strength I found,
Right now, right now, right now"
