about

I sang this song for a funeral recently and so many people told me with deep sincerity that they had been blessed by it I felt encouraged to share the recording. At a time when most of us need all the love and peace we can get, I hope this song is also a blessing to you.

"The Prayer" was made famous by Canadian singer Celine Dion and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. It was written by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa and Tony Renis.

lyrics

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.


I pray we'll find your light
I pray we'll find your light

And hold it in our hearts
And hold it in our hearts

When stars go out each night
When the stars go out each night

Remind us where you are.
Oohhh....

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer

When shadows fill our day
When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

To a place where we'll be safe.

A world where pain and
sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's
broken will be mended
And we'll remember we
are all God's children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky.

We ask that life be kind

We ask that life be kind

And watch us from above
And watch us from above

We hope each soul will find
We hope each soul will find

Another soul to love
Another soul to love.

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer

Just like every child.
Just like every child.

Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace.
With your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Needs to find a place

Guide us with your grace.
Give us faith so we'll be safe
