My Prayer
Darin & Brooke Aldridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When my life gets dreary
And I'm feeling weary
From trying to find a way to survive
I give all my problems
To someone who can solve them
Tucked inside this prayer I say each night

Lord I seek your blessing
Give me peace within
Forgive me of my own sins
Show me the way again
In your name I pray amen

Life can almost break you
But sometimes it will make you
Stronger than you thought you could be
When my skies are not blue
I know who to talk to
And every time I do he comforts me

Bridge
When I'm feeling lost
And I don't know where to go
I turn to the Father
Son and Holy Ghost

Lord I seek your blessing
Give me peace within
Forgive me of my own sins




Show me the way again
In your name I pray amen
