[23] Prayer
[Verse 1]
In each step that I take as I go away,
there are souls that are left behind me.
If they're left like this,
will they find their own way?
I ache for their souls endlessly.
Outstretched arms of my Lord appear
before me.
It's my time to enter into His peace.
As I go now to the arms of my Lord,
tears of thanks start to flow from me.
[Refrain]
If this is the way
to give them greater strength and hope,
if this is how I can make them
live by the truth,
then all the steps I've taken
would not seem quite so heavy.
This is my prayer
for the souls who won't be taken.
You must come forth into the light
and with the love for the Lord of all
overcoming the things of this world,
have hope for Heaven above.
Don't forsake God's glory.
Never forget His love.
For you, He gave His Son.
[Verse 2]
Hold fast to His grace and His sacrifice.
Don't forget the love of the Father.
My heart burns and tears fall
in endless streaming
for the souls that are left behind.
