I Pray for you 

I pray for you 

My friend 

And join with you

In your times of joy

And deepest trial. 

I stand with you 

Beside you 

Nearer than if I were there in the flesh 

And in such silent advance

I can aid you in battle 

Or the thankful dance of success in Christ. 

I fly ahead

On winds of Spirit 

That e'er your way may softly rest 

Free from torment by evil's hordes

Who flee at Jesus' name. 

I drop to the depths 

Within your heart bruised sore by woe 

And enter realms 

I may not clearly understand 

But I bear the touch of Yahweh's healing 

That restores you

Revives you

In spite of how little I may know. 

When you are weak 

Or feel alone

My heart reaches toward you with arms of faith 

And holds you close with Heaven's Love

So you may believe from the center 

That God has not forgotten you. 

And then when your victory

Shines before as Mercy's gift 

My soul shall fast rejoice beside you 

As bright renewal dawns. 

And so in this moment

Of sacred stillness 

I fall to my knees

To sing a soft request of Grace 

And rise to meet you 

From across a distance now ever minute 

And though you do not see me

Or hear me 

Forever you may know 

That I care.
