Say For Me
White Hassle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ask you to grant my request
The prayer I pray today
Is different than the rest
The enemy is threatened
By the gift you've placed in me
Here my earnest prayer, cover for me
Jesus say a prayer for me
You know what I need
Go before the Father
And intercede for me
The enemy desires to sift me as wheat
Like You did for Peter
Say a prayer for me
For those that you've call you fully equipped
To fight the wind and the waves
To captain the ship
So I don't mind the storm
I'm willing to sail
God cover me that my faith won't fail
[Chorus]
Jesus say a prayer for me
You know what I need
Go before the Father
And intercede for me
The enemy desires to sift me as wheat
But like You did for Peter
Say a prayer for me
Ooh,ooh, ooh, ooh,
Holy Spirit pray for me
Ooh,ooh, ooh, ooh,
Holy Spirit pray for me
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
Pray for me
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
Pray for me
Like you did for Peter
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me
The lyrics of White Hassle's "Say For Me" are a prayerful request for spiritual intervention and protection. The song begins with the singer coming before God, asking him to hear their request, which is different from anything they have prayed before. They acknowledge the threat of the enemy and the gift that God has placed within them, asking for cover and protection. The chorus is an appeal to Jesus to pray on behalf of the singer, knowing their needs and interceding with the Father. The enemy is likened to a sifter of wheat, trying to separate and destroy the faith of the singer. But like Peter, who was also sifted, the singer implores Jesus to say a prayer and protect them. The bridge calls on the Holy Spirit to pray for the singer as well, with a repetition of the phrase "Holy Spirit pray for me." Overall, the song expresses a deep need for spiritual intervention and protection, acknowledging the presence of the enemy and the need for steadfast faith against adversity.
