My Prayer

YOU SAID ASK AND YOU'LL RECEIVE
AND GOD I DO BELIEVE
YOU MEANT WHAT YOU WROTE DOWN IN YOUR HOLY WORD
SO I'LL BOW MY HEAD THE WAY
THAT MY SAVIOUR SAID TO PRAY
AND I KNOW BEFORE I ASK I WILL BE HEARD


CHORUS:
I WANT TO KNOW THAT I'M STANDING IN THE SON'S LIGHT
I WANT MY LIVING IN THE OPEN 'CAUSE IT'S DONE RIGHT
AND WHEN THE DAY IS CLOSING AND THE MOON'S BRIGHT
I WANT SWEET PEACE AT NIGHT
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
I WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE WATCHING OVER LOVED ONES
AND ALL THEIR TROUBLES LORD ARE MOVING ON A FAST RUN
AND YOU'LL GRANT ANOTHER DAY BEFORE IT'S ALL DONE
AND WHEN THE END SHOULD COME
LIFT UP EVERYONE


YOU SAID COME TO YOU FOR REST
AND GOD I DO CONFESS
THAT I'M WEARY OF THIS LOAD I HAVE TO BEAR
I'LL GLADLY LAY MY BURDENS DOWN
LEAVE 'EM RIGHT HERE ON THE GROUND
WHILE I'M ASKING FOR RELIEF, LORD HEAR MY PRAYER


CHORUS:
I WANT TO KNOW HEREAFTER'S WHAT I WON'T DREAD
THAT MY MANSION IS AS GLORIOUS AS YOU SAID
I WANT TO WALK THE GOLDEN STREETS OF HEAVEN YOU TREAD
LET ME FILL UP ON YOUR BREAD
LET ME REST MY WEARY HEAD
SO I'LL CLOSE KNOWING YOU KNOW WHERE MY HEART'S BEEN
LORD YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE WHAT I'VE BEEN BELIEVIN' IN
AND I TRUST THAT YOU'RE FORGIVING ME FOR MY SINS
AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS
IN JESUS' NAME.......AMEN




LORD AND I'LL CLOSE KNOWING YOU KNOW WHERE MY HEART'S BEEN
LORD YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE WHAT I'VE BEEN BELIEVIN' IN
AND I TRUST THAT YOU'RE FORGIVING ME FOR MY SINS
AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS
IN JESUS' NAME.....AMEN
