[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]
F                                  Am/E
First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are
   Bb2/D                      C/E
For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far
     F                            Am/E
For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve
Bb2/D                                 Bbm/Db
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve
Dm              Dm/C          F9                                 Bb
Keep the ones I love so dearly, fill their emptiness while I am gone
   Bbm/Db                  F      C
And fill the loneliness in me, in me

Chorus:
 D7  /E /F# Gm     C/E        F   Bb/D         Eb        F          Bb
This is my prayer, lifted to You, knowing You care even more than I do
 D7  /E /F# Gm    C/E             F
This is my prayer lifted in Your name
Bb/D          Eb      F      Bb
Your will be done, I humbly pray

Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do
To a generation struggling to find themselves in You
May they come to know the love of God
May their eyes be made to see
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free
And may unity in all things be the banner of Your church
And let revival's fire begin to burn, begin to burn

CHORUS

Gb                             Bbm /C /Db /F
As we face the last and final hours
Gb                             Bbm /C /Db /F
Turn a wayward country back to You
    C#m/E            C#m         G#m /A# /B /D#
And keep us from the evil that devours
E               C#m              G#m /A# /B /D#
Keep us on the path and lead us through
    Bm/D             Bm              F#
And keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes
         C#
And our work is done

This is my prayer, lifted to You, knowing You care so much more than I do
D#7 /E# /G G#m    C#/E#       F#
This is my prayer, in Jesus' name
B/D#          E      F#     G#m /F# C#/E# F# /E B/D#
Your will be done I humble pray
